Default Debadging car POLL
What is the general consensus on debadging a A8L. I think it may actually look very clean. I debadged my 540's til I got my Dinan5 badge, which eventually I took off anyway. Comments?

Default It couldn't hurt, you could always rebadge.
Post pics before and after.

Default Hair dryer, strong floss, goo remover, and patience is all that's required.
And don't forget to wash and wax the areas affected when your done.

Default Hair Dryer necessary? In my BMW's I just yanked it out
with floss and took I think windex and scrubbed and then waxed the area. I'll take pics today and maybe some pix of some HOT S4's!

Default Re: Debadging a great rear end
I love the look and the stealthiness on mine. Even when they see the badge most don't know what an A8 is and what it can do. The A8 has a great rear end anyway and when it's naked it looks even better IMHO

Default I left just the rings, removed the clutter.

Easier to clean off the wax, however your car is already white!

Default I just removed my dealer installed badge. It looks a lot better. Not sure if I should remove the
rest. The factory installed badges seem to be applied with a much better adhesive than the dealers logo badge which cam e right off with some floss and a little water. Thoughts?
