Not sure if this is a new option or not, but I go to the University of South Carolina, and quite a few students are starting to get s197's here. The thing is that around 70% of them seem to have no fender badges. They range from full customs with a full SS bodykit, to just the run of the mill V6's, with no mods at all. I can see the custom guys doing it, but a lot of the cars I see have female drivers, without even the exhaust done, leading me to believe they wouldn't drop the change to shave emblems only on the fenders.

Can anyone fill me in?

 

I have no emblem on mine however mine is airbrushed --

 

base v6s come with shaved fenders

 

are they being pulled off by kids? Or are the holes filled?

JUst put a USC emblem on!
make sure it's the correct USC, not the University of Spoiled Children!
Go UCLA!

 

Holes are filled. On the GT's and 6ixers.
