Strange, did you figure out why they don't offer the option anymore? I like to debadge my cars as well, it looks much cleaner. I can see people think those who debadge bought the base model and want to look more expensive they are, but I just prefer the cleaner look, I do the same debadge on my family members' s-Classes.

Some of my badges are subdued. I would love that option for all the badges, over completely removing them.
I like the subtle look, where, if you weren’t familiar with the car, you might not even notice the subdued cues.

So you don't mind having a badge if it is completely darken out? Like night package 2?

But I can appreciate the stock badging on restoration cars, restomods, patina restorations, and custom classics.
I think the type of work guys like Chip Foose does is fabulous, although I have never really obsessed over having any of them myself.

I prefer badges like the night package, over the bright chrome and shiny finish, yes, for my car anyway.

For restored cars, I definitely want them to look like they did from the factory which for NA cars, usually means a badge.
I spend a lot of time in Germany and 95% of cars don't have badges. I think badge delete is standard there and you have to option in the badges. I just like how clean all the cars look and how you have to guess or look for subtle clues to determine exactly where it falls in the line.
I also like having a sleeper. I want my car to be more than it looks and never less than it looks. If that makes sense...
I have no idea... Maybe it just was so rare that someone would spec it that it was costing them money to support it or something...?
