Why do so many people debadge there Blazers? My friend who owned my Blazer prior to selling it to me took the Blazer & Chevy emblems off the back and to this day I dislike not having em' on there lol.

Well personally I only removed the pinstriping so far on my truck. But my pinstriping was tan on a white truck and it was broken up and bad looking. As for the Blazer and Chevrolet badges, I'm considering moving one of the Blazer badges to my grill like another member on here did. If only I could find the picture to give him credit.

one of the main reasons i did was becuse on my molding the silver strip in it was cracking and turning a nasty yellow. so instead of buying new trim and redoing it i just took it off and figured id try and do alittle "custom" work myself. (painted archs, bowtie, front bumper)
if the molding wasnt cracked and yellow and looked like a** i would have left it but i couldnt stand it anymore and i kinda like it now without it ...looks alittle more sleek but the one nice thing about the molding was it helped protect against door dings ...
i did keep the blazer badge but took the Chevrolet badge off ...otherwise the hatch looks kinda naked lol so i guess its not a full debadging but i did take alot off haha

I took mine off and in the process of repainting them. I can't stand the nasty grey look b/c the black faded off.
