Debaging the trunk emblem??

[slvr08gt]

Is there is tricks to doing it. I plan on doing it tommarow if anyone can confirm its pretty is to do and how. Thanks in adavnce, Nick

is held on with double sided tape. use a flat head screw driver and a rag under the flat head so not to hurt the paint and just move around the edges till you get it up and then pull it off

 

[blacknlte]

as you can see in the pic there is a ring left from the tape, there was a smaller hole to use to line up the emblem (i filled it in)

 

[slvr08gt]

Hmm, wasn't expecting a hole to be underneath there. Nick

Screwdriver

If you still want to take it off, I recommend a hair dryer and some fishing line. Heat up the badge (any badge) and slip the line underneath and work it back and forth with a pressure angle on the badge. The string may break a few times, but it will take it off with no marks. If I did it with a screw driver, I would surely mess it up!

heat works to, or either leave the car sitting outside

Yeah I believe theres two of em, you could bring it to a body shop though and they could fill em in and repaint it for you

If !! you remove the badge and the key hole....
You will wind up with the back end looking like this

 

[echoinsilence]

I like it, thats pretty clean.

Or if you left the keyhole...

I used the fishing line as well, it cuts through the foam/glue that's holding it on. Then some goof-off to clean it up. I would never use a screwdriver, you don't want to pry or wedge it off.

Yes it works on all badges.

This tape behind the badge took me like 30-40 minutes to get off what a pain, I used bug and tar remover the wifes blow dryer (no heat gun)

Slowly but surely it starting coming off

The end result!

[rednek01]

Yeah, it has a really clean look giving it the appearance of it being painted. but to cover the holes completely with no badge or something else over it, you will need body work and complete repainting of the decklid unless you're body shop guy can do it well and the paint on the rest of the car hasn't been weathered much or at all for that matter.
