I've been thinking about debadging the Solara but I'm not sure. I think it looks cleaner without the badges. Any opinions? I was gonna wait for a letter to fall off so I would have a reason to take off the rest, but it's all one piece so that won't work.

^ True, when cops pull you over they'll ask you

"what happened to your make and model tags"

and you will say

"They all just fell off"

Dat, i think he was calling the 5-0s retarted

Idk, I think it removes a lot of clutter, three badges are a bit much.

When I first did mine I took all off but the SOLARA, I kinda liked it, but in the end it came off too. I think it leaves a lot of people guessing what kind of car it is, solara is pretty unique in todays hussle and bussle of the same cars....I drove seriously 2 min in NOVA and saw 5 of the new camrys...

Personally I did a "Brazillian", which the "landing strip" is the round Toyota logo, but the word "Solara" and the Toyota in text is removed... But I "moved" the word Solara down to a license plate frame.

REMOVE THEM!
I just did about a month ago, and it looks so classy, & your not driving around letting the whole world know what your driving.

I actually had someone think I was an undercover cop cause of my 20% tint and it wasn't marked haha O_o

One dude thought I did it because I had a 4 banger and I said pFFFFF " your mother is a four banger" and I opened my hood to prove it. Other than that, I like not having any.
WTF WITH ALL THE HUGE SIGS??????
