Has Ford owner I can tell you debadging a Ford won't stop anyone knowing its a Ford. They design it specifically so you don't need the emblem. Hell it fades off on most trucks and cars in a few months.

What I remove is any mention of the dealership. That I will advertise for.

I'm usually anti dealer badges, but when we bought our Accord, the dealer said if we kept the dealer license plate frame on, we'd get free car washes for life. We took advantage of that many times. Seemed a fair trade to me.

That is fair. You get recompensated for providing ad space.

Go a step farther and get more letters off of cars in the junk yard. Then stick them on your POS spelling out “found on road dead” or “fix or repair daily” (dead WRXs are helpful for the latter).

How would you even debadge a modern Ford truck? All the ones I've seen have FORD in massive letters on the front.

I blacked all mine out with plastidip, at least the ones I couldn't remove without leaving a massive spot open and look even worse
