Default That they do. Are you going naked on the S5?

I prefer using a sharp pic (snap on style) to get them off because it doesnt leave as much residue on the paint - which is never fun getting off. Have to be extra careful not to touch the paint in any way but the end results are better.

Default Probably. It looks cleaner, I'm not giving free advertising, and It's ...

fun that non car people don't know what the car is.

I like debadged cars, i would do it with the S5.
I also would remove the V8 badges from the fenders.
But leave the Audi rings on.

Audis without their rings look terrible, even ricer-ish. Debadge the rest, but keep the rings.

Default Is that picture taken in conshohocken pa? I think I know that building.

I like the idea of getting rid of the V8 badges. Looks clean.

Default I've had people call my car a Mercedes, BMW... Rather be called an Audi.

That's here in California though. The average person is completely ignorant of Audis and if it looks European - it's automatically a BMW or Mercedes. At least they didn't call it a Lexus.
