Default To Badge or De-Badge?

I'm thinking about removing all the Badges on my jeep. I'v seen a few jeeps with no badges and it looks clean. I mean if you don't know its a jeep when it rolls down the road.... we wont go there.
Anyways Lets see those pictures of Jeeps without any badge's

i completely de-badged and de-stickered mine...i hate chrome...especially cheap PLASTIC chrome !
mines a sport, but i would have done it to a rubicon too...and ive done it to every 4 wheel vehicle we own.

I dont mind some of the factory (pinned on) stuff but most of its just stickers anymore (including the stupid TRAIL ready badge).

I think I'm leaning toward just taking them all off. Are these easy to take off? Do you think a Hair dryer and a razor blade will get these off? I would think that the plastic ones would be easy to take off but how about the decals on the lower quarter panel? What did you guys use to do this job?

A little heat and they come right off . I used a bank card and hair dryer and goo be gone . It will take 5 mins . Easy. I would be carful with a razor blade if I was u I'd use something duller

Took mine off.

Although I've been eyeballing some Black Sahara stickers. I really like the Black/Tan combo that can be acquired from certain sources.

Add pics when I find my phone. Pics all too large on laptop.
