probably got into an accident where fenders, trunk, or bumpers repainted and was too much of a hassle to put emblems back on. same with bikes that have been dumped where stock body decals no longer present.

are you being serious or sarcastic??

The first day I took mine home, it went into the garage....H badges and S2000 badges were removed that same day.

Same with the STi...the first day in ALL stickers and badges removed (this is savings of 2 lbs I think!!)...even the STi up front was painted black on silver to blend in with the car....clear the front headlamps...much much better.

I need to take pics - will post them this weekend when I am done with all stereo stuff, clay bar, etc....

Cheers!!

I like the badges as they are, but then again I'm in love with the way the car looks.

I like the clean look a lot more too and it does make for easier wash/wax like others have pointed out.

I personally think it cleans up the side of the car a lot. I removed mine on my old silverstone when I had it.

Maybe it's just the desire to individualize the car. I think that some would add badges if they weren't already on the car.

Sorry, newbie here. How do they come off? Are they simply stuck on? Are there going to be holes to fill after they are removed?

the S2000s on the side you can take off using dental floss (wear gloves!!!) and then you can use your claws/fingernails to remove the adhesive and then some tar/bug remover to clean up the mess....20 minutes for both sides should be enough.

The H emblems will leave nasty holes...you can use the S from the S2000 to put instead or order some Rick S badges... :-)
