I've never understood debadging.As an owner you are excited and think that "Ohhh, I have the best car, I love my car, I'm proud of my car."So, I'm going to remove anything on it that tells anybody what KIND of a really cool car I have?!?!!?!Senseless to me.Dave

I have loved the debadged look ever since I got my first new car, but this was the first time I actually did it. Clean and smooth. To me it seems like an extension of getting rid of the clutter and emphasizing the lines and the color of the car. It starts by throwing away the license plate frame that the dealer stuck on there. The only time I wish for the "Vibe" on the hatch is when I'm closing it and want somewhere to put my fingers so that I don't mark up the paint.I held onto the "Pontiac" and "Vibe" letters for a few weeks and then tossed 'em. The Pontiac red arrow stays. Pretty soon people won't even know what that means.

I have the 3rd brakelight overlay Also have vibe logo on my seats. Keeping it toned down, but anyone can figure it out if they take a moment to look. It's like a puzzle Psycho Martyr:Still looking for those emblems, pretty sure they are here somewhere. May have to do a more thorough search this weekend.
which ones are you looking for ? Just the "vibe" words? the arrows? i have the arrow from the back hatch and a black graphic worx front bumper arrow i will be taking the Vibe words off the doors when it warms up enough to get them off without breaking or cracking them in this cold weather.
