I’ve always debadged my cars. I know it’s just personal preference and very subjective. The back end is so boxy I think the letters actually help break it up a bit and the black calligraphy color on the branding doesn’t look bad at all so I’m torn.
Thoughts?
I like the black badging. It’s not really in your face. If it were the silver, I’d say debadge.
(may be biased, I have an Earthy Brass Calligraphy with black badging lol)
I like the badging
I’m removing mine, I’ve noticed it’s a hassle to wash, my towels and mitts constantly get stuck on the “Santa Fe” letters. Also to me usually spelling out the model or make was seen as for a more fancy or luxury car, but now it seems every car maker/ model is going that route too (pruis, Lexus, Camry, Honda, etc)
I like the lettering. Also that color is fantastic!
Without the badge it looks like a minivan.
Left.
NOT! The empty back would look even weirder to me, unless one plans on plastering it all over with identity crisis stickers 
I wanted to remove mine as well, but when I saw someone else do it, it just made the back look weird IMO but everyone has their own taste. I think it just matters if you like it on your own vehicle or not:)
I would keep the badging but make it the SATAN FE
The black badging breaks up the large rear. The minivan comment is true and funny.
I left my letters on too.
The only thing I feel is the OEM emblem doesn’t go with the modern style of the Santa Fe.
I made the pixel H and it’s been popular for those that want to swap it out.
