As some of you my know, I debadged my trunk lid last Summer. Followed by stripping the door moldings during the Fall. Well the slow process has reached it's end, with the removal of the "Plymouth" emblems from the doors. I was able to safely remove them and keep them for the relocation project I plan on doing in the near future. Although I'm now torn, as the my baby looks soooo clean and bare. I'll just take my time, as I do with most of the decisions I'm faced with.

I finally got around to taking some quick shots of how she sits now. I hope you enjoy and please fill free to comment. Also I do know that she needs a drop. I have the H&R springs, just don't have the Tokico struts yet. So please be kind as far as the stance, Thanks.

OMG look at that 4X4!!!!

Hahaha, just playin'

No badges = clean car. I really like it!

Those wheels look good too. Chrome and white always goes good together.

Whatt are your plans with the emblems?

debadged FTW

Got to tell ya David...even though we went through the work to locate some emblems for you, I say leave 'em off. Our cars look so good de-badged.

Worst comes to worse, you can keep them off and live with it for a while. I think you will find you like it better that way. You can always put them on later.

And if you don't put them on, hang onto them and make a crapload of money selling them when no one can get them anymore

My plan, as it stands right now, is to place the emblems further down the door just above the door crease. lambostealth did an outrageous photoshop last summer for me. Props

I really am a proud owner of a "Plymouth" and want to show my love...... but I don't know anymore. Looks very clean and sexy the way she stand right now. IMHO.

Now that I have the emblems in great shape, and don't want to waste them, maybe

..... I'll put them inside the door jam? I'm going to wait and see which way the wind blows.

Thank you, MyNeonSaysHi, bombtrack07 and Danteneon for your comments

No they are not PT Cruiser rims, they are DeCorsa - Stellar - Chrome - 17x7.5 offset 35. Which I absolutely love.

No real problems stripping the moldings or emblems. I worked slowly and methodically, and everything work out great in the end. I was concerned in the beginning of the process, only for the fact that the paint is 8 years old. I had NO, I repeat NO issues with the paint at all.

Again, Thank you all for the comments!

Hmmm, maybe the CA sun had baked the paint so much to cure possible bubbles right out of it? Looks good and I like the suggestion about keeping the badges for when they won't be readily available.

lookin good david!

^ someone needs to craft David a new stripper sig

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:08 am**

Looks great just need to get rid of the bra

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:44 am**

Ummm I think you rotors are mounted backwards.... I think they should have the lower edge of the grooves should hit the pad first and as the slot moves along it shaves material or dirt off and throws it out away from the center of the rotor...

IDK I think thats how they need to be..

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:34 am**

Looking awesome as always David.... Congrats!

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:43 am**

Lookin real goood!! classy I must say... and those rear discs look real nice under those big wheels

question?? if u pull of the moldgins on a 2gen there is no ident left over just a clean door??? hmmmm

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:46 am**

No there is no dent, and yes it will be a smooth door afterwards

I did mine a few weeks ago.

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2008 2:00 am**

looks really clean, nice work!

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2008 4:52 am**

So you had no issues with paint fade..hmm, I wonder if its because its white....I have a silver 2000 and have been afriad to pull them off only to see major paint fade or something. I guess it must depend on color cuz I've hear of some people that have had bad luck with the moldings.

Lookin good tho!

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2008 5:45 am**

I just did mine a few weeks ago - I had no pant fade or bubbles of any kind Im happy to say.

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2008 1:42 pm**

Lookin good

! I admit I've become a huge fan of the clean look, now I just have to pull my door moldings off
