shaved dem badges
allright so i got bored and shaved the "Oldsmobile" badge of the trunk and the "GL" badges off both fenders...im contemplating shaving the Olds logo off the hood but i havent yet, i know the car is very dirty..with the exception of the areas i polised after removing the badge...so the pics arent the greatest but enjoy...

the back-end looks much cleaner now, and the Intrigue lettering is built into the trunk, but i didnt want to shave it anyway...back end looks more balanced because it isnt thrown off by "Oldsmobile"...

ok so the GL badges werent really much bigger than a half dollar to begin with, but i think it makes a difference

i havent actually done this yet, its a Paint masterpiece for the time being so try not to focus on the little patch of mismatched paint, just take it in as a whole and give some feedback as to whether or not i should remove the front badge.

None of the cool states have front plates.

dont lose the hood emblem...remove it and re-locate it to the bumber cover between the lights
The Olds front logo should go back on!

i agree that it would look better there, but like i said i dont believe that has the same curvature as the hood does so it wouldnt fit smoothly..ill look into it though.
