Thoughts on debadging
I just bought my 03 4.6 2 weeks ago and i love it.However the previous owner removed all badging(4.6is and X5).What are you views on whether I should leave them off or replace them.Some of me likes the cleaner look while the other part seems to think something is missing.All thoughts are appreciated!

There is no "right" answer...give it some time and you'll get a stronger opinion. Congrats on the car. I waited a year before putting aluminum running boards on...

Congratulations on your new purchase!!! I hope you enjoy it, and post some pics so that we can see it!!! As for the badging I would recommend you put the X5 badge in the rear back on, as well as, the 4.6is on the rear driver side not the fenders. Just my opinion!! Good luck!!!
P.S. - This is what mine looks like:

It's totally up to you. I don't mind the one on the back but I'm not a fan of the one on the sides. As accella suggeted, you'll probably decide after you've had the X for a little longer.

My 4.6is badges have been deleted. We don't need no stinkin' badges! Hah, and surprises the crap out of people not expecting to get smoked by a SUV.

it's a personal decision... IMHO i like the badges. they're subtle enough.
