Many users prefer their vehicle to have no badges of any kind: neither on the vehicle nor on the license plate holder. Removing those from the license plate holder is easy (just ask the dealer to install a plain license plate holder, it's within our rights), but removing the badges from the vehicle is more challenging.

However, we can handle this ourselves as well. Simply using some masking tape to outline the work area and a plastic scraper, carefully remove the badges from the rear of the vehicle, leaving only the manufacturer's emblem.

This way, it will look much cleaner and more highlighted.
