Considering removing my Z4 badge from the trunk (boot). Thoughts? Lame?
Never really liked the Z4 logo and now I'm considering taking it off. Thoughts? Is it considered ricey or lame?
Car is an '05. Do you think there'll be a different with paint shade on Titanium Silver under it? I've seen cars before where you can still make out the emblem outline after it's been debadged. |

I don't see anybody accusing you of 'lame-ifying' the car for taking off a badge. When you start fiberglassing on hood scoops and a whale tail spoiler then you should worry about the image you're projecting ...

Took ALL of mine off and I felt it classed things up visually. I always felt BMW over-badged our cars.

i blacked mine out with plastidip, black would also look good on silver, then if you dont like that you could just remove them...
i really need to tint that reflector though... |

The blacked out badge looks good. I think taking it off all together looks good too though. And its easier and cheaper lol.

I say take it off. Some people think it's lame, but it's your car and do what you like. I took off the side M badges off of my coupe cause I felt like BMW went overkill with the badges and I love the way it looks.
