Thats why I de badged my cuz of the same reason on my GSX. but im curious to see your badge, since what you said.. you should post a picture

 

Personally, I think the trunklid debadged minus the Mitsubishi emblem (and the SE emblem, if so equipped) is the way to go. The standard "Lancer Evolution" emblems are disgusting, but completely debadged looks a little odd.

 

Around here, most of the Evos are debadged and I swear there are atleast a dozen blue (EB & BBY) Evos. I plan on debadging mine as soon as I slap the exhaust on.

But I do really dislike falsely badged vehicles. eg. BMW 323i with an M3 badge

I did see a Chrysler 300 SRT8 with a regular 300C badge on. Very, very sneaky and surprised me!

 

badges are like name tags


Some people like to take em off; some like to wear em.

 

I took the "Lancer Evolution" badges off the back of my car. I think it looks cleaner without them.
As far as getting jacked, it makes no difference what so ever.

 

well when I got mine, I wanted the UK badging, so I did that, but the badging isnt that bad on the Evo's. On the subies, particularly the STi's, I can understand stripping them, especially if you are wanting a "sleeper". for instance, on my buddy's 07 STi, it says "STi" something like 23 times on the car, thats insane, and the fact that on the rear decklid alone, it has the subie stars logo, Impreza, WRX, STI...thats lot...He is stripping his off because of that, but also because hes gonna halfway go down the road of having a sleeper. ditchingthe wing for a prodrive wing, painting the calipers black, getting rims, blacked out FMI and an RS hood to ditch the scoop...the only badge thats going to be on the outside of the car is the STi badge in the front grill, and its black now, so....
you cant really go "sleeper" with an Evo, because everyone (that knows anything about cars) knows what it is, there isnt really any hiding it...a much different story with an STi

 

^^ much of the reason why I got the evo. I didn't want to me mistaken for an RS imprezza or WRX. As for the badging, I just took off the 'lancer'. it still looks good IMO and is a change up to all those UK badges. in the end its you call. (unless somebody jacks your badges, haha)

 

no badges just makes the car look cleaner

 

Yea i pretty much de-badged all my cars..IMHO it makes it look nice and clean and less distracting without disrupting any body lines But i did leave the on the front and back, i dont like the badgeless grill look

 

very true.

But like everyone else said : It's a preference thing.

U paid for the car, U do what you want with it. Plain and simple.

have a and enjoy the rest of your day.

 

Absolutely. I just preferred to not have the disgusting stock "LANCER Evolution" emblems. Some people like them or at least don't trust themselves with a blowdryer and floss.

 

The "Lancer Evolutuion" badges on the US-spec car look like an afterthought to my eyes. Plus, the dealer bent the "n" when preping the car so that helped me in my decision...

 

I just did mine to its sexy

 

I only removed the Lancer badge. I like the diamond star. In retrospect I should have left the Lancer and removed the Evolution.

 

I was going to debadge my GG evo. I decided not to do it since the Lancer Evolution part are black and the MR is red. If it was chrome, i would have removed them. It all depends on what you like.
