    well the front badge is recessed into the bonnet and to take it off would mean having a new bonnet. Filling in the recess doesn't work as it cracks and makes it look terrible

    unless you weld a plate underneath & then fill, but that takes time and a lot of effort, so really isn't worth it...

    nah any filler still cracks if the bonnet gets slammed hard enough (which on calibra's it does as its a very heavy bonnet)

    I removed all of the badges on mine, I dont think I fooled anyone either, altho the guy in the Boxster S was pretty pissed judging my his facial expression, guess he didnt like having his acceleration matched by a 13 year old Vauxhall and then being pushed up the road by it, well, thats if his constant twitching on the brakes and jumping of a red light was anything to go by...
