Yeah, as MNM said, It'll look cool  _2: If your still in doubt, photoshop it with and without badges and stuff and see the difference

Don't know if I trust 20 year old electrics enough to go without the lock.

My Dad broke my bootlid lock, so we rigged up not only an electric boot release, but also a safety cord near the backseat in case it failed.
That XD was a great car. Still is. Sadly I know my father is writing the advert to sell it soon. :( Neither of us want to see it go.

2 reasons to take them off.
a) it looks smoother b) little kids will not wreck paint to get badge.

Mine will soon only have the Ford badge on it, and if somebody rips it off, I won't bother replacing it, will just repaint the entire bootlid. But personally, I think it looks good with just the Ford badge - I'm sure everyone knows it's a Falcon, and I don't want the GL badge - it's already gone anyway - all the GL badge does is tell the world it's the base model Falcon, without it, it keeps them guessing

horses for courses. an original ESP i would keep the badges, but a falcon GL that you are modding i'd go for the smooth look with the Ford badge in the grille left on. just to break up the black a bit.

Get rid of all that fussy crap. Blackwood Falcons have near perfect proportions & look best clean of distractions
