i just recieved my avante xd emblem today too with my clear sidemarks, i wanna know if i'll have any trouble with the insurance company if i change the elantra emblem for the avante emblem, has anyone had any trouble with this, please let me know whatever, bye

What? Why would you? It's the very same car; I don't think that'll matter in the least. It's like if I went and put a Ferrari Device on my car.. Same car, but it sure as shit ain't a Ferrari.

 

[watson80]

no trouble!

 

[vabeach_03]

No but you might get a cop problem. I had a cop give me crap last night because i don't have any badges. i got pulled over on the military base for having my neon lights on. gave me a base ticket(basically a written warning) took about 15 min longer beacsue i had to explain what the car was and why i took the badges off. i hate cops

It is not law that the make and model of your car be displayed on the exterior. If a cop wants to be a prick he will find any reason possible but there is no legal reason for a ticket, insurance problems, or anything else.

 

[watson80]

yeah thats bogus....you can debadge, rebadge, fake badge anything you want to

 

[hyunelan2]

Too bad though... might cut down on the amount of Type-R, Spec-V, GTR, SI-Civics on the road - lol.

Changing to Avante XD is the same as throwing on any of those stupid pep-boys badges (but not gay like them). No legality problems at all.

you shoulda told him "cause i wanted to" and "its a sleeper" or "its the mystery mobile whats it to ya?" whats he gonna write you a ticket for? tell me . ..better yet, i wish i coulda been there to ask him what the HELL he woulda written down as the reason he was writing a ticket . . .(im the type of friend you have with you that is always saying the stuff you are thinking lol) that is seriously like flirting with the line just before invasion of privacy if we are gonna get all "legal"

And now kids, its time once again for: The parody hour! with your host, felixr!

"roger unit 666 this is base . . .uhm, bill is this you? give it a rest bill, you drive a honda . . . you will ALLWAYS drive a honda . . . don't take it out on innocent smart people. . . .return to base immediately . . the sarge would like to show you what debadging is all about . . . over"

If a cop could give you a ticket for not having badges on your car, then he could give you a ticket on the thought of "I don't like the dealership you bought your car from"

:headshake Va Beach cops are famous up and down the East Coast for being the biggest bunch of knuckle-dragging shit-heads in all of law enforcement. I talk to Fairfax County and Va. state boys all the time and they just shake their heads in wonder. I think it because they deal with 18 year old military guys all the time and they've gotten used to taking advantage. Still sucks ass though

 

[watson80]

I am sure those guys usually get alot of attitude from most people too!

 

[HatchetMan]

that's what a vin # is for

 

[felixr]

aww come on wasnt i at least a LITTLE funny? i tried hard lol

 

[HatchetMan]

:abovelol:

 

[XTRAWLD]

I can just imagine the cops face when trying to figure out what your car is....but he can write down the VIN number just as easily. Oh, and the VIN is also on your insurance slip - so don't fret - If they write up a ticket for you....well, they are pricks...plain and simple.

 

[felixr]

am i not as funny as i think i am???

 

[2GTS]

I guess not, I've had a couple of those friends that think it's great to say what they think I'm thinking instead of keeping their mouth shut. A couple time their smart ass comments resulted in more trouble than what the situation started out as. Moral of the story, unless your the driver of the car or the person the cop is speaking to keep your mouth shut and I won't end up in the back of a squad car.

 

[slvrsleeper]

I thought it was pretty funny dude but I did have one of "those friends" talk me into a 250 dollar ticket up in MD once. That wasn't so funny.

 

[2GTS]

I went from a warning to a ride to the station and a $300 fine all for my friends being smart asses. When it cost me $$ and 6 hours it's not funny, watching it happen to someone else, yeah I'd laugh my ass off I guess.

 

[jcr557]

ok, thanks for all the answers and yea i might put them on my elantra, now i have a question, how the hell do you take the orginal emblems out?
