    Tesla making it difficult to go with the "emblem less" look.

    Adding a plastic pin to the back of the emblems and adding holes in the frunk and trunk.

    Looks better with the emblem. Looks weird without anything there anyway

    That sucks
    1st thing I always do is de-badge.

    So what's your plan?

    Yes, but not the "T" emblems. We can chrome delete those match though.

    You can always chrome delete the emblems to match the rest of the car. Satin black or any color you want, just can't go badge-less

    My opinion, de-badging is way cleaner, but, it looks like that won't be happening !

    Here here

    I always peel off stickies or dealer logos. Only ones left are under the rearview mirror.

    people really value logos/badges but they can be purchased anytime for a few bucks

    To confirm it's just the "T" logo, not the dual motor text?

    Does the dual motor badge also have holes behind it?

    I don't mind leaving the T, but would like to remove the dual motor badge. Or more accurately, not add it back on after the Xpel wrap.

    From the pic it appears to not have much in the way of water sealing those holes. Can the OP shed some light on this?

    Buff lightly and apply your choice of rustoleum. I did the same with my first Eclipse...
