i used a laminated card, heat, and solvent to clean off residue.

 

I looked at it and peeled with my mind...jk. Hair Dryer+Dental Floss works flawlessly.

 

I used a plastic drywall mud spade. The edge got under the badges and because its plastic it didn't damage the paint!

 

I pointed a heat lamp on the emblem while I did a few things around the house, put a card under the points opposite where I was pulling from, lifted it off slowly with my hands then got rid of the goop with acetone (away from the heat lamp of course)

 

Better than the floss... craft twine. I know it sounds crazy and a little thick but the texture literally grabs the adhesive tape and pulls it right off.

No joke- I used ZERO heat and ZERO acetone/chemicals. It took 30seconds to "floss" the emblem off then used some polishing compound followed by a car-wash, then a wax. It couldn't have been easier or less complicated.

No damage to the paint, nothing dangerous.

Did mine yesterday with floss... worked like a charm.

 

does the large Mitsubishi symbol have prongs that go into the trunk? or is it just glued on as well? like the wording on the bottom. I want to debadge the trunk completly

 

I just removed my emblems and the adhesive left over was insane, I thought id never get through it! But then my fiancé who uses essential oils showed me that lemon oil eats through glue and dang it ate through it that's for sure!! And it looks primo now!

 

that RA looks great! im wondering the same about that mitsu symbol as well.. i believe my 2012 lancer GT had it removed before i got it.. but idk if it was shved and filled or not

 

It just is an adhesive holding it on, I removed mine and it was just glue.
