how to remove emblems??

Jonny5 · 03-22-2006, 11:54 PM

Are the emblems on the '03's attached adhesively? If so, what's the best way to remove them without damaging the paint?

Thanks for any help!!

And on a side note......
I have a black pony edition- just put on my chin spoiler and must say it really cleaned up the look of the front end. Other mods: 18" wheels, tinted windows, dual exhaust, cold air intake, shorty antenna

soon to come: grill delete and I gotta get this thing lowered!!!!
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER MODS WELCOME!!

Way I do is take a screw driver. Behind the screw driver I put either a towel/cloth/sponge so that it wont touch the paint. They just peal off. After that I use goo gone to take off the remaining adhesive (there will be some)

All the emblems have studs on the back of them so there will be a hole on the fenders/trunk still if you were planning on going badgeless.

use a blow dryer and heat them up and it will just peel right off and leaves little mess, then use goo gone and it takes all the goo left off of there.

Those other ideas work, but I find this much easier. Like Spike said, heat up the emblem with a heat gun/hair drier and get it nice and hot. Get some fishing line or dental foss (fishing line is better) and saw the emblem off. Next just pull off the rest of the two sided tape that's left over and use some adheasive remover to get all the adhesive off. Next get some rubbing alcohol and clean up the area. I think this is the best and easiest way to do it without scratching your paint.

Use dental flos. use it to saw behind the emblem then once you got the foam backing cut, you can pull the emblem off, get some 3mm adhesive remover and yer done!
