Personally, I feel some of the badging on cars is ludicrous and redundant. For example the Subaru Outback has badges saying “AWD” as does the Volvo CrossCountry. Well that is rather obvious isn’t it? All the Outbacks and CrossCourntrys are AWD so why do you have to advertise it?
In my case, I removed the “2.0L Turbo” badges from my 1998 900SE. I left the “SAAB” and “900SE” badges but nobody needs to know what size engine I have or if it is a turbo. Anyone who knows Saabs knows what a 900SE is and I don’t need noisy kids or cops deciding that the guy with the turbo needs to be hassled. In my opinion, stealth is underrated.
