- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Has Ford owner I can tell you debadging a Ford won't stop anyone knowing its a Ford. They design it specifically so you don't need the emblem. Hell it fades off on most trucks and cars in a few months.
What I remove is any mention of the dealership. That I will advertise for.
How would you even debadge a modern Ford truck? All the ones I've seen have FORD in massive letters on the front.
I blacked all mine out with plastidip, at least the ones I couldn't remove without leaving a massive spot open and look even worse
I'm usually anti dealer badges, but when we bought our Accord, the dealer said if we kept the dealer license plate frame on, we'd get free car washes for life. We took advantage of that many times. Seemed a fair trade to me.
I agree, people will know, but debadging even that little oval? Taking it out of the grill? That is very intentional, it doesn't occur by accident, it might even make some people go, "...huh."
I would refuse to have their emblems on my vehicle. I have my reasons. Unless somebody wants to buy me a nice one & leaving badges on was part of the conditions, by all means, drop thousands of dollars on me & make me a hypocrite. I am nothing if not practical. But if it's my money, on my Ford vehicle, all badges & emblems are being stripped off.
