LOL...especially the Ford part...then again, I don't want that on any part of my car....lol

As for the other stickers/badges...make the dealer take them off. If they mess up the paint/bumper/etc, then they are liable for it. If you mess it up, it's on you.

The only place nearby that I know of who does that (other than the license plate frame) is a Ford Dealer. Theirs is a silver star that says Ford of Kirkland. It's not big, but I certainly wouldn't want it on my car.

True, but I'd rather a tasteful thing than something with words.

Here's the dealer's image-

The stylized 'D' on the left is all they put on their vehicles. In chrome. I wish more did it that way. I'd remove them less often.

I Agree. I either tell the dealer to come down on the price or pay me for advertising. If they don't, which they usually don't, I ask them to remove all aspects of their advertisement on my car. I don't want to have to worry about adhesives on my paint or anything so I make them do it. If there is adhesive left over I make them remove it as well. I have seen a few tasteful advertisements as well. And if it is a license plate cover or whatever I just remove it.

I know that the camaro is beautiful, and I'm supposed to be all about dealership support, but my car is going to be completely debadged, and will probably have an aftermarket grill installed pretty quickly.

It's nothing personal, I just value annonymity in my cars. If someone is a car fan, and they see my car, they'll know what it is. If they don't know what it is... I don't think a touch of mystery will kill them.

There's something classy and clean about a debadged car. 100%.
