Default Why not debadge your Volvo? I happen to like most cars debadged..

I saw one of the new style Accord coupes, the guy had debadged all but the H logo on the boot lid, looked SO clean!

Default i agree. I did re-badge with my Just Dave badge though...

The quattro badge is stuck on my tool box.

Default hahahaha, are you serious Steve?

Debadged = nice and clean.

I would say leave the rings though. Just my personal taste.

Default Good idea. I didn't know what to do with my badges.

Now I do! :-)

Default I did a courtesy debadge of my Mom's Cougar V6.

Took the "Cougar" and "V6" off. Left the Mercury symbol in the middle. Took the damn dealer sticker off too.

Default I like people, namely the domestic car owners, knowing it's a Quattro when I pass them on the track.

see sig pic, for example

not a good pic, but the only one in my PP:
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10901/dscn2539.jpg">

and I purchased a badge to fab into my RS4 grille.

Default Of course not

We'd look down on you even if you HAD badges.

:-P

Default But will your average domestic driver be able to read that?

on the track and decipher what it means? I'm sure they know that quattro is, but good luck reading it while on the track.

Default Not at all. To me it looks weird with the badges. Keep the rings though.

I remember debadged cars back in the 80's being a sign of coolness. I guess it showed you had a gray market car, at least with the MB's. May have been an option too.

Debadged is really no big deal at all.
