No, I don't take off the mfg logo or emblem. but I won't let a dealer put their name on any vehicle I buy. That is advertising and I tell them if they want to put their name on my vehicle I'm going to bill them a hundred bucks a month. I wont even let them put a dealer LP frame on. Before signing any papers I will walk around the vehicle and make sure no dealer names have been applied. I had one one dealer drill hole in the front bumper to mount a front LP dealer advertising tag. Their body shop had to fill the holes and repaint the bumper before I signed the papers.
