I de-bagged mine for three reasons. 1) The kids around here like to de-bagge them for you. They
usually use a butter knife or screw driver. Not pretty. They totally hosed my neighbors Porsche. 2) Mine had the *BLEEP*ty looking "Gold Package" on it. Nothing makes a car look cheaper then to make the badges gold (my opinion). 3) No wax build up around the badges. I've been doing it for about 25 years now on all my cars, just the way I prefer it, Lexus to Honda, even My Chevy Tahoe. It looks much, much better with them gone I think. I have a 1998 GS300. All came off w/ no problem, no holes.
