it makes the car lines more smoother and cleaner. Also if you have an si you can shave them and make them think its a dx.

^^ True that. That translates into less chances of getting robed.

^^^ thats not all entirely true. i get asked quite often what kinda car i drive. the first few times i kinda looked at them stupid and was like, r u serious. most people think i drive an eclipse???? kinda weird but the reason i shave all mine is for the fact that the car or truck looks more slick and flows better without those badges being there.

haha an eclipse, you would need like a wide body kit or something. But yeah most of the people that like cars dont need to see a badge on it to know what it is.

shaving the badges off makes the car look a lot cleaner. i like it because i have my handles shaved and all the emblems shaved besides the trunk badge. i like seeing people try to guess what kind of honda i have or car in general because a lot of people dont see the black emblem on the blue car.

I like the badges on mine, makes me look like some clueless college dude that defines his car to his friends who ask as "Its some sort of special civic, meh I dunno... it gets me around". That way they get BURNED

I have a White 98 EX with a black "H" on the trunk and thats it. I shaved the rest. I get asked all the time what kind of a civic is that.
