Default Is Really Worth Debadging The S?

Well I been thinking about debadging my s2k. I was wondering is it worth the trouble and also should I remove the s2000 badges? If I do end up debadging my s2k, I will also shave the holes. Sine my03 is new formula red I was also thiking of buying the red honda badges. so its either debadging or red honda badges.

I personally like the badges. You need to be pretty modified in order to pull off the shaved everything look in my opinion.

I had to have my fenders repaired once and I put new S2000 badges back on after they were done simply because I thought it cheapened the way the car looked without them. That and they are a pretty signature part of the S2000 itself IMO, few other cars proudly display their model name on the side like ours.

As for the Honda badges, I think debadging them looks good but not really worth the hassle unless you already have to repaint something.

I agree with this. If you're stock, the car kind of needs them, if you've done some modding, I think it can look better without badges if the whole thing is done cleanly.

If you want to switch, switch to the black CR badges. I autox with a few folks who put the black CR badges on their non-CR's and it actually looks really good and not poseur like some other Honda badge swaps.

I've gone through an argument with myself since I've owned this car about whether or not to debadge the sides, and I came to this exact conclusion. Mine are gonna' stay on.

My car is shaved like import model pussy, just personal preference with a touch of practicality. I've had emblems jacked with a rusty screw driver, now I only have to worry about vandalism... and my seats.

Any question of worth, regardless of topic, is highly subjective. Your call to make.
