Default to renew an old debate: debadge the rings or not...

i spent my thanksgiving morning taking the badges off with my father. he insists that taking the rings off will make the car look finished/better. most of you guys seem to think otherwise. any opinions? pics? i'm leaning towards taking them off...

Take them off, and you're gonna have to get the car serviced at the honda dealer.

That would be a good thing. No 4+ week wait and fix it right the first time.

Default Reason I'd leave the badges on ...............

The reason is so that the Quattro badge would remain on , so if some muppet tow company went to bring the car at least they could put it on wheels . I'd hate to damage the drive system on the car .

Default I like no A4 badges, but leave the rings.

Not like Audi has an ugly symbol like Mazda or Lexus.

Default The car I bought was an Audi Quattro...

I took off the A4 and the 1.8T because I didn't like the big lettering. I left the Audi rings and the Quattro badges front and back because that's what it is to me, an Audi Quattro.
