hey guys just had a quick question because i wanted to paint my emblem a different color. is the trunk one simply stuck on there with the glue stuff they use or is there screws/prongs that hold it in as well? same question for the front emblem as well. wantde to see if its easier to remove the emblems and spray them or just tape off and spray. thanks

 

Im pretty sure its just glued on like the front.

 

Yes, it is just double sided molding tape. Get out your fishing line and drag it behind it, then use goo gone to remove the residue. Works like a charm. I plastidipped my , so now I am rocking the black diamonds.

 

Front glued, back glued, with the exception of the sportback. Has like a screw or something in the back to help hold it on since the curves of the SB are a lil dramatic back there. Remember once you take it off the glue may not stick right back on. Might need to buy some glue. Also use the search function, way too many silly topics like this, that have been covered about a thousand times

 

sorry about that. anyone know exactly what i should use to glue it back on and where i could find the stuff? thanks.

 

double sided thin 3m tape

 

gracias.

 

what about the sports backs? the rear emblem is curved on the hump of the hatch. is this just glued on as well? I'm thinking I may want to remove a few off the back.

 

 

Make sure if you're going to put it back on to use 3M tape as mentioned above. Other, cheaper, mounting tape will leave a ridiculous residue on your paint if you ever remove it again.

 

i feel like such a newb..

 

yep afaik, sportbacks, cannot remove their respective mitsu rear badge, as you will then have a hole in your hatch. Unless you patch it or cover it. That then is up to you!

Also there is a 3m emblem glue if i remember correctly. Its kinda like superglue for emblems, you can also do the 3m thin tape.
