Shaved Emblems

I'm thinking about shaving my emblems, specifically the EX. What do you people think? Would it look good to keep the "civic" emblem, or both? Opinions, please.

1st thing I ever did was to shave both off. Looks much better. I changed my H over to Red, but may go back to stock H. Cn't decide, but yah take the EX and CIVIC off for sho.

Alright. Some people told me that I should be proud that it's an ex, but if I take off the "civic", too, it makes sense.
I'm leaving the H.

Next question, should I do it now when I have no mods, or should I wait a little until I have something to show for? Well, I have DIY cleared headlights, but I did those because they were fun. I'm more about go than show, but I have no money = no go for the time being.

Nothing wrong with having a clean, stock car. Sedans would look better just with the color-matched hood and trunk trims instead of chrome. Taking off the civic and ex would be good as well. Otherwise there are too many symbols back there.

just for fun, leave the civic and replace the EX emblem with an M3 badge.










I was kidding. OK, OK, I'll shut up now.

I think I'll leave the "civic" and add an M7 emblem. I can make it on my computer real easy. Then, and only then, will I be big pimpin'.

Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow. Should I use a hair dryer or very hot water to remove the glue? I dont' have Goof off or anything of that sort, and I don't think I'll need it.
