Yeah, I left mine off when I had to get the rear bumper cover replaced. Also took the G-2 GS-R badge off when I moved to Sacto and stuck it on my toolbox with all the other stickers(K&N, Redline, Magnacore etc) I figured I would have a lower chance of Grand Theft Auto being perpetrated on me if I did not advertise. Don't have as many people trying to race me now either.
