IMHO removing badges is overrated. The car looks plenty "clean" without badge removal and with the badges on people will be less likely to confuse your car with a Miata.

Also I'm proud of my S2000 and like the badges proclaiming the car's model.

If you had a Ferrari 430 would you remove the Ferrari badges?

Are those 07 wheels powder coated in gunmetal? If so I think I just soiled my pants!

Hottness on wheels.

I would love to have AP2 wheels powder coated gunmetal on my Sebring Silver

Got a tool at the parts store(auto zone) just for that. Cant for the life of me think of the name of it though. body man told me about it. One end looks like a pencil eraser, only bigger. the other end went in my drill. Worked like a charm and removed every bit of the adhesive without as much as a scuff.
