Question Remove "evolution VIII" emblem or not?

Should I keep the "evolution VIII" badge on or take it off for a cleaner look? Here's a quick photoshop below.

If you want to make it look better, lower it more.

i had her dumped, but it was way to rough and the wife didn't like it. i'm sitting on MR Bilsteins with Swift Spec R's now. and the wheels are Diamond Black CE28's 18x9.5 +35.

It was one of the first things that I did to the car, but I've taken it off and I'm going back with the oem badges. Weird, I know.

somewhat... this was like my first "mod" as well to the car right after debadging her. i spent $150 or so on this as it was OEM from europe and no one was doing it yet. i'm torn because it's somewhat sentimental..

WOW $150... I wouldn't take them off for sure.. since they are Europe OEM.

I personally would leave them on. I don't like the completely debadged look. If you take them off then just get the OEM Black Evolution letters we get here on the USDM cars.

Keep it

While it may look a tad cleaner having it off, the UK style badge is awesome.

How do people go about putting them back on after they've removed them? Surely doubled sided tape isn't going to be as good of a hold as the sticky stuff it came with? Plus the letters are bound to get a little unaligned if you keep putting it back on and off.
