    Default Another Badge Removal Question

    Does it lower the value on the car at resale?

    I want to take off both the Commodore and the SV6 badge on mine to clean it up as I plan for it to pretty much look a lot like a SSV with some HSV features (nothing too extravagant)
    I just want to make sure I'm not going to destroy my chances of selling it later on.

    Just wanted to be sure is all.
    Thanks for the replies. Answers my question. Although I must say I'm a bit scared to debadge myself as I don't want to wreck the paint >_<
    But probably give it a crack when I grow some balls for it lol.

    I don't think it effects resale, since most of the guys who'd be buying your car second-hand are into Holdens so don't mind if it's been tidied up a bit.
