no. it's a personal preference but i've always looked at debadging as a way of "hiding" what model your car is. whenever i see a debadged 3-series i always assume it's a lower end 3 like a 318i or a 323i. you never see 330i's or 335i's debadged. rep the GS300. if mine was a 300 i'd never debadge it. it also makes the car look plain and boring. just my opinion.

to me its not about what model you are driving....
its about making it look "clean"
my prefrence is one centre emblem and thats all....
it wouldnt matter if i was driving a BMW 318 or a MB S550.
DEBADGE! but always leave the center manufactuer emblem
I think im gonna leave the L

Complete debadge. I've always done this with my cars.
I know what it is, and if other people can't figure it out I don't care.
They probably don't care, either.
It's not an image thing for me. In Orange County, driving a Lexus
is like driving a Chevy in Detroit. Nothing to brag about.
