Badgeless is clean I admit....but, then again having your badges makes a statement.

All gone!

Most don't know what I'm driving until they see the Front End/Emblem.

It also make Detailing (Waxing) easier.

Same here. I want to get a new emblemless grille (like one of the billet ones for the 06 and later models) when they come out and get new wheels so then nobody will know it's a nissan unless they know the car or look at my steering wheel...lol

I thought about rebadging mine to a 2.5 when I get it (I want a 3.5 6MT)... throw on simple bolt ons and a drop... and make people think it's a 2.5 sleeper, lol... I dont care who you are, I still think it's funny, lol...

What's with this COOL thing, I'm not in the 4th Grade...

What I meant was they don't what I'm driving...ALTIMA. Again, did it for CLEANER look.

Clean look is no argument, it looks good it's just unclear to me how somebody could be "cool" tolerate having badges off. But hey, it's their cup of joe.........not mine. I prefer having the badges left on, some people could get mis-lead, more so with the 4th generation Altima. I don't want to start an argument, just my .02 cents.

People who rock the badges...

Do you wear those loud canal st. Louis Vuitton suits with the pattern all over them?

I prefer people ask me if they want to know "is that the new XXX"

You are paying for the car, then advertising for them.Much like many A/X shirts...

I have a wide variety of suits.. but none of them have who made it or what size it is on the outside of the jacket in chrome lol...

No point in the question, it was redundant... just drawing the comparison btwn auto/clothing

Thats your view and I respect that, I don't feel like I am advertising for Nissan...........but I advertise what "I" got under the hood. I just prefer the badges, thats all.

Does anyone else here think that the v6 looks outta place... I'm thinking about just taking the v6 off and leaving everything else on... or taking everything off except the Nissan... I know the v6 is there to tell people what u have but it just looks random for me. What do you guys think?

I agree... the style the V6 badge is, and it's placement definitly makes that back end look cluttered, IMO if you just kept the 3.5 usually people would think that you rebadged it from a 2.5, but then when they see your mirrors, they should know it's a real 3.5. Just a thought, but maybe get a V6 badge kinda like the Mazda 6 and either rearrange the back end or put them on the doors... just a thought... Although if you debadge all together it will definitly keep them guessing... to each their own... good luck.

Altima owners will know a 3.5 from a 2.5 because of the mirrors... But most people on the road will not. I dont know what i want to do lol

I know of some guys on another board who have the 2.5 debadged and they added the 3.5 mirrors. IF you really want people to differentiate between the two cars, leave the emblems. It's all personal prference.
