Lose the UK badge, keep the Mitsi badge, and call it a day.

I like the clean look of no badges, but red would be dope.

I think the huge Evolution badge looks ridiculous, especially right under the Mitsu logo. If it were me, I'd ditch the huge badge and get a small factory (USDM) Evolution badge to install in its original spot. Good luck.

The USDM Evo badge font is so ugly. Yuck lol.

Looking at it again, I agree with removing all badges. Looks cleaner.

I have just the center emblem, but then again I have a JDM rear so the look is different overall as well.

I have the UK badge and over the weekend I heard a girl walk behind my car and say "oh an Evolution". I'd bet my nuts she would never know what kind of car it was if she didn't see the badge. She's probably heard the name before and had no clue what the car looked like.

I never understood debadging a car. I think it's a terrible idea for Evo owners as clueless people will then think you are driving a Lancer. At least the badge confuses them a little. To each his own I guess.

If you owned a Lamborghini would you remove the badge? I doubt it.

... that's so important.

A better question would be, if you had a Lamborghini, would you cover a quarter of its trunk with a badge in hopes of a random stranger acknowledging its existence?

It's whatever you want to do, but I debadaged my car and it looks really clean IMO.

Badges came off the day I bought the car, no stickers on BREMBOs either

I hate any and all badges. If you don't know what the car is GOOD

Oh and yes if I bought a Lambo the badges would come off the min I pulled in the driveway
