Thumbs up I've debadged my ride!

Here's the links to the pics I took of my car right after debadging it. With the addition of Andrews revised emblems, I always thought it was a bit busy back there with it saying "Crossfire" twice, so I debadged it. IMO it looks alot cleaner and will be easier to wax and wipe down too, seeing I used to get hung up on the "I" once in a while! I also did a 3 step process to the area after debadging it because, I used WD40 and waxed dental floss for the procedure, gotta protect it you know! Enjoy the pics and if someone here makes the pics visible w/o clicking onto them, thanks inadvance!

Actually, I think painting out the wings using the car color would erase or blend almost all traces of the wings except to the discernable viewer. I am not sure what type of paint would adhere to chrome thou - and I guess it would be reversible if one wanted to go back to stock.

I wouldn't want to do that because of the chrome above the grill, some in the front and some in the rear, perfect!

Wink Re: I've debadged my ride!

Personally, I like the "crossfire" badge. The name "crossfire" is very unique and I am proud to have it displayed. I like that each letter has that little tag on them. Very different.

The chrome wing adds a nice shiny part too. I like the wing. JMO

Arrow Re: I've debadged my ride!

For the record, I love the way its written "Crossfire" back there, very nice, but with the addition of Andrew emblems, I had to make it look right. If I hadn't bought those emblems, I would NEVER had taken the letters off, but I don't regret getting Andrew emblems because it covers up all of those ugly Chrysler emblems which don't belong on a sports car IMO.

in a nut shell...i originally created these custom emblems in decal form (adheres over the stock emblem). dan purchased a set from me and decided to duplicate my identical emblem but made it into a plastic form. and that's that...no harm no foul.

the general idea came from a poster http...had in his gallery. thanks to him for my initial vision.

see post below...

I thought about a debadged rear too. Especially every time I wash it!!! But then on a SSB it looks real good, the chromed letters on the silver blue. Well, still not sure whether to leave or remove...

I agree... I love the crossfire font but would like to debadge the wings which i find so commonplace. IMO, they should not be on the crossfire and family van (among others) as well. It reduces the uniqueness of the crossfire

I sort of like the Crossfire letters on the rear of the car, but the Chrysler wing/logo is a bit over the top.

We need to inspire some creative soul on this forum (or out there in a very big world) to design and develop something unique to replace the Chrysler logo on the rear of the car. I assume that the logo is mounted with screws/rivets thru the metal? If so, then it would require something that would overlay the holes. Hmmm....now what would meet that objective and still look good?

have the same dream, but no I think they prefer to keep me out in the garage doing it myself.

I have a '72 mini cooper that would be a great candidate so ANYBODY feel free to let chip and the guys know,

thanks in advance.
