to badge, or not to badge?

[tucks]

incredibly minor question but i thought id get the opnion of the good folk of PH. About 10years ago,i owned a calibra turbo. i spent 10k(yikes) modifing it, it was a glorious fibreglassed monster. it was in fashion for roughly 5mintues to have a large bodykit so i wanted rid, fortunantly a friend of mine saw the potential in its already modified 300+bhp engine and bought the car. she has spent a long time and money returning it to virtually standard bodywork(bar the wheels and front bumper at the moment), now, should she put the badges back on it? a Calibra turbo is a rare sight nowerdays and for geek appeal spoting one is a good find. however the car does indeed look better without them.....although it could be any $500 "tidy" calibra n/a?

what do you guys reckon?

cheers- and im fully aware the earth wont implode due to the gravity of this issue, she just genuinly cant decide and wants a general opinion of "car" people.

Unless she's going back to complete OEM bodywork and even standard wheels I'd leave the badges off.

Absolutely trivial and pointless.

^^ As above, if the car has been returned to it's former standard looks then yes, otherwise, I would say it doesn't really matter.

I'd say leave them off then.

Even better if it's got 300bhp
