I understand people with a higher performance trim of a car debadging their cars to kill unsuspecting others. However, I get a kick out of people with slow cars who "debadge" their cars wishing it brings them the same effect.

A Corolla pulled alongside me last night revving me in a stop light. I backed up a little, looked at his rear wheels and noticed he had drum brakes. I played his game and smoked his stupid ****.

Then next light, I let him get ahead of me and on the back, I found out he removed the "S" that Corolla S (trying to make people think he's a debadged XRS) have and he had a coffee can exhaust. Next light, I felt merciful and let him keep up and think that he stands a chance, then I gunned it and left him behind.

 

How do you know his reason for removing the badge? I debadge for looks, not to fool people into thinking I have a faster car. I debadged my Echo and it looked cleaner. I debadged my tC and it looked cleaner. If anyone wants to race me now because they think I have a Lexus, more fool them.

 

i debadged for a cleaner look as well

 

x3 on the cleaner look. I'm not out to "kill" anyone, I just like the cleaner look without the badge...

 

hmm.... I havent encountered anyone doing what you describe, only the other way around, ie: putting a XRS badge on a S model. Not too many people tend to hide or have a sleeper car nowadays.

 

He also had the stock XRS rims on his Corolla S.


I don't get ricers. There are also those who have the factory stock steelies. They pry off the wheel covers, paint the wheels black. For what? Speed? LOL!

 

I debadged for looks as well not to fool anyone especially in a tC. Kind of hard to do cause they only come one way!!!

 

Well, once again, not trying to defend the guy..... but there are many cars that come w/ hubcaps, then the owner replaces them w/ a high trim level wheel. At least he kept it in the Corolla family.... I saw a Toyota Camry w/ RSX wheels yesterday! And other ppl actually get their OE tC wheels taken off, only to be seen on a Neon (or some other) later on.

 

I took mine off for the cleaner look as well as the fools coming up to me asking what the tC stood for...Had a guy and his son walk by my car @ a Safeway and the son was telling his dad about the cars, the dad asked about the what it stood for and the sone said, "the tC stands for turbo charged, DUH!"

 

I debadge mine for less weight and aerodynamics.

 

you street raced, youre so cool!


damn and u smoked a corolla!

 

^^^^^^lol..


u forgot to give him a cookie..

 

 

Oh great, here comes mother teresa.

I thought you were dead?

 

are you really 32?

 

LMAO!

 

I see you haven't made it to the pearly gates.

 

lol

 

I kinda have both worlds.... I debadge my front to make it look cleaner and my rear I add a vvti badge bc help me spot my car more easily in a parade of tCs.

BTW? Why would you even race a Corolla?

 

I get a kick out of embarassing ricers.
