^ I suppose the Evolution MR emblem is alright to keep because it's at least black and red, so it doesn't look too bad.

I'm still all about going all clean other than the Mitsu emblem.

It felt sooo good pulling that badge off and cleaning all that dirt I could never get to between the letters.

Many of you will think I'm a retard or something but.. I'm taking the Lancer Evolution badge off and putting a Decepticon decal in the same spot or somewhere under the Diamond star

+1. I just kept the Mitsu emblem. Especially since I have an VIII and the front one is a bit recessed. So, since I was leaving the front, the back had to stay. If I had a IX, I would have removed them all.

Go with the Blu one . If it is really stock and not put back to stock. Have the dealership look at it befor you buy it and ask them to look and see if tranny or engine has been removed.Buying a heavily modded car might be fun, but it might start to have problems and that will cost you.

I personally like the UK badge. I want to put one on my car but everyone is always sold out.

While I like the UK badge MUCH more than the U.S. ones, I still prefer the clean, badgeless look. The UK one just seems too busy for me.

Anyone have any pictures of the trunk completely shaven (including keyhole, preferably white IX)? I did it on my '92 Integra and it looks real clean! Just wondering what it would look like on the Evo... Thanks

I took off most of my badges the day I got the car - I only left the Mitsu logo on the front and the back. I think it looks great without the other badges.

I Think it's just a matter of preference and makes your car look different. It's like people with smoke tints, rims or carbon fiber hood etc. It makes your car stand out. I don't know where the trend started.

On my old 04 Lancer ES I debadged the rear and relocated 'Lancer' where the is.

My Evo IX has the 'Lancer Evolution' debadged and just the . I guess it's just the non-oem look people are attracted to.
That is awesome! I would love to see pix. Question- how do you debadge and when I look at my 03 LS, it seems that there may be holes involved. Are there? I have really been wanting a clean look on my LS rear, but am terrified of doing any damage I don't know how to fix. I want to remove "LANCER" and put in lower right corner (or no , haven't totally decided that) I love and totally want to advertise them, but want a clean look, too.

Thanks so much!!!

I'm probably doing the exact same thing. I promised myself I wouldn't debadge trunk until I installed at least one component of the exhaust. Should be a few weeks from now.
