I like the clean look as well as the painted look. (First one--thank you PhotoShop)

Who cares if they wonder? Is it really that important to tell everyone what specific model you have? Anyone that knows these cars will know what it is.

Not important. But de-badging makes it kind of naked - me thinks.

For me, it's not an issue of advertising what I drive. I just like the classic Carrera script; it's a connection to all those great Carrera models from the past.

I de-badged mine and thought it was naked...

So, I had Eric at BumperPlugs paint a badge for me the same color as the car (GT Silver). Now it doesn't look naked anymore, but is very subtle.

Me likey!

I'm a naked guy.
It was the only no charge option from the factory..I couldn't pass up the deal. <g>
I do however, get a charge from those 360 and 430 F guys that all seem to need those fender badges to remind them and the world it's a Ferrari.
In the day, it was only the actual racing Ferrari's that had the badges.
