BaseSquatch here! The best sticker by far imo is the Sasquatch that comes on the Base model. I can see why BB and OB owners would remove their stickers, but the Sasquatch looks cool. That said, who really cares one way or the other?

If moneys no object:
AR | BRONCO CLASSIC DNA Fender Badge | Bronco6G - 2021+ Ford Bronco & Bronco Raptor Forum, News, Blog & Owners Community

I got rid of the trim badges and the horse on the back. Looks way cleaner

Lol I don't care if people know what trim I have or not. I just never thought to remove anything from my Bronco, or any other car I've had. Honestly I don't think I ever even pay attention to it, which is why I wanted to know reasons behind them being removed, just something I notice a lot of people doing. Outside of Bronco I've never known anyone to take emblems or stickers off their vehicle. I've never thought about modifying a vehicle until this one either My jeep stayed as is and I think I'm good with leaving my Bronco as is...at least for a few years.

I can’t recall any other model that has cheap stickers stuck to the side denoting which trim package you bought. It’s usually an actual badge. That said, I think it made it look cluttered and the bronco script looks SO much better in my opinion.

Same here. That's the coolest sticker.

Took mine off for ppf and ceramic coating, but mainly because it looks so cheap.

Exact same reason for me.

Two reasons for me:
1. Once you see the imagery of the Badlands badge as the “vagbadge” you can’t unsee it. (sorry for being blunt)
2. I obtained the script badge before they got ceased and desisted and it is much more to my liking.

imo people tend to debadge to hide the negative of things.
Like hiding the KIA on the Stinger, hiding the NISSAN on the GTR.

Bronco on the other hand, people oftenly just replace the trim level with the classic Bronco logo.
Nothing wrong with that. But still I do see a trend most them are not the top trims.

Also I do see the reason to replace the Badlands trim logo.
That bright orange doesn't go well with certain colors...

I still got my factory ones, but the starboard (a little boat humor) side Badlands one is crooked which drives me nuts.

Anyway, I was hoping the AR ones would eventually be released Bronco tax land, but that has yet to happen. I want to see the new Ford factory ones that match the grill showing up on a few rigs before I make any firm decisions.

I pulled my Wildtrak stickers/emblems off because frankly, Ford's whole approach/methodology with using these stickers as emblems on the various models looks really like a cheap, low-effort afterthought, on their part....

I bought reproduction first-gen emblems from Tom's Offroad in satin black ($25) - The quality, thickness, and edge profiles on these absolutely destroy the cheap ones that you can get on Amazon/Ebay/Etsy etc.

removed the mounting studs, filled the cavity on the back of the emblem with two-part epoxy using a disposable syringe....Apply VHB tape to the back, and ....done.

I got rid of Not only the trim badge (reused it on the dash) I also got rid of the Wildtrak stickers on the hood. I wanted a cleaner look.

 

[lemonslush]

personally im not a fan of it but to each their own. Its your stuff do what ya want with it

I waiting on my 2023 Base 3/13/23 production run and think everyone should removed their trim tags and we can all be bases. Kinda like the skinny kid at summer camp who peed in his pants and the cool camp coach said it was cool to pee in your pants...so...

 

[PatientlyWaiting]

I leave mine on to show people that I waited almost two years for my MIC, tow, Wildtrak
