Thanks @gc3. Still a couple things I would like to do, but it would involve a very high $-weight ratio for no performance gain what so ever. I think I will just save for a while and keep looking for my Evo frameset.
What do you think...keep Logo's on or take off?

Keep the logo opposite the valve stem only.

Looks good, Bianchi10!
Either no logo's, or leave the ones you have on. I don't think the blacked out ones would be the look you're after.

In the same video they recommend using acetone to clean the rim. I think using goo-gone would be fine, but you'd want to make sure to really clean it off with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Wouldn't want any remnants left on the wheel (or if it really got everywhere...foul your brake pads)

Bianchi10 (… hmm, why is your name bianchi on a C'dale? But I digress) I'd also vote to debadge the wheels. Just take a look back at the last few pages. Debadged carbon wheels look good and on your black and white bike, they'd look even better! Plus, less logos is always a good thing, isn't it? (You already know all this, we're just pushing you over the edge hopefully)

Thanks guys. Still not sure if I want yo take them off.
Bianchi10 - because my first bike was a bianchi via nirone. Thought picking a name with the bike I ride would be neeeeto. After selling that and getting my Ridley, I saw how stupid that was. People know me by bianchi10 now so I might as well keep it.

Enve seems to recommend using a razor blade to pick up the edge, then peel it off: Decal Installation (1280 x 720) - YouTube
In the same video they recommend using acetone to clean the rim. I think using goo-gone would be fine, but you'd want to make sure to really clean it off with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Wouldn't want any remnants left on the wheel (or if it really got everywhere...foul your brake pads)

Thanks Robby. That is a Specialized Romin Evo pro. I have ridden a toupe and though it wasn't bad, the Romin Evo has been great.

The ****** level in this thread is unbelievable. I'd be interested to see those who post comments like the one above include a photo of their bike for similar ridicule.

I knew what people would say and it doesn't bother me. I know its not high end but I absolutely love it and its the most comfortable bike I have ever rode. I had a guy that was riding a Look the other day stop me and told me that he thought it was one of the coolest designs he had seen in a long time. So not everybody is a hater lol.

Maybe try taking the bottles out of the cages, all the bags for hauling your garage with you on a ride, lean it against a wall and take a real photo of the bike. That will help.
It looks like a nice gravel grinder, I like the gray and orange, but right now it looks like someone slapped road bars on a mtb and called it a day.
