Fender badge - yay/nay?

[HotdogThud]

Happened to get an unrelated call from the dealer today, and it occurred to me to ask if there was a way to specify in the build itself to not have that goofy fender badging installed at the factory, since I'd prefer it not be there. Alas, there is not, and I will either have to do it myself after delivery, or deal with the inevitable badging/penis measuring that will ensure as more broncos end up on the road. /s

Thoughts? take them off, leave them on? I like a clean body car, so all the badging usually comes off instantly when i buy a car.

if you want to remove your badges to make it look like a base (no side badge on base), have at it. Not sure how that will alleviate your concerns on dealing with various real or imagined measurement contests, but I do agree it would look cleaner. My thoughts are "Who cares? Do you and be happy."

Exactly, more just curious what other people think

I've considered this too. Especially since it appears to be a sticker. I prefer as little branding as possible.

You can probably get it off pretty easily with a heat gun. Lots of people use goo gone for the glue, but I have found WD-40 to work better.

Personally I like the Badlands fender "badge" so I will leave it on. I really only like it because it is orange and will match the stitching from my interior. I also plan to add other orange accents on the exterior to tie everything together more. Most of the other badges are predominantly gray so I would probably pull them when I found something else I liked better to replace them with.

Fender badges look bad. Mine will be removed.

Best thing to do is just to not associate with/ignore penis measuring idiots.

Not sure there is going to be a lot of badge measuring, at least not in the first wave when just seeing another one in the wild will be a rare sighting. I know that some folks care about that stuff though. Going with this on my base:

Well, that's a lovely notion, but have you seen humanity? ;-)

exactly why I try and ignore them

Heat gun, goo gone and fishing line work best in my experience. 10 minutes tops

Sure makes you miss the days of custom-ordered cars.

Sure would love to have the modern equivalent of a Galxie 500 with a 427CJ and 4-speed.

Shocked that OP didn’t add a poll to this thread. I mean, this is B6G.

Shit I can do that?! I'll take my n00b badge now.

I’d say this is pretty darn close.
