What are your thoughts on debadging cars? Is it worth it?

Why are you sharing photos of your Aston Martin in a KIA forum?

Actually, it’s a Lamborghini Urus.

VW Urus.

I saw a YouTube video where someone made their own GT badge to cover the holes. He might have the template available.

You can buy one here. It looks great on the grey color: Low Profile GT Emblem – YOAST FABRICATION

I found 3D files for a different one here, maybe this is what you saw: 3D Printer GT Emblem Files? | Kia EV Forum

What are you planning to do with the holes in the hood? Water might get in, and rust could be a problem. I thought about designing my own custom badge, but I can’t find any details about the hole dimensions or spacing.

Honestly, I was just going to put googly eyes on the holes.

Haha, that’s funny, but it might not be a long-term fix. :slight_smile:

It looks great.

I almost removed mine too… except for the holes. I did take all the badges off the back though… EV6 & GT Line.

I thought about debadging completely, but because of the front badge hole, I decided to go the other way and replaced the badges with matte black ones.

This looks great.

Much better without the ‘mIsFoRtuNe’ sticker.

I think it looks great on grey, not sure about lighter colors though. Blue would look good too.

I debadged mine (forest green, limited edition) after getting PPF. I just had the shop not put the badge back on. The PPF covers the holes, and it’s dark enough you can’t really see them. Before this, I had a white pearl EV6, and the holes stood out a lot while waiting for a replacement badge. I don’t think I would do it on a very light-colored car.

I love how it looks. I’m considering doing it too, but still figuring out how to handle the holes in the hood. A black matte badge would almost disappear on my Yacht Blue car, but I might go for black silicon rubber plugs or maybe chrome plugs.

I used model paint to black out the silver badge. Works well on my black car—black on black stealth mode.
