Debadging......

I want to remove the "Lancer Evolution" badges, but I have a concern.

Are there holes behind the badges? Thanks!

Nothing behind the badging besides some 3M tape. You can even skip the heat gun and just bust out some dental floss.

i debaged mine also ...didnt like all the words. Use a heat gun and then polish and buff the area. It gives teh car an more aggressive look.

WHY not remove the Lancer part of the badge but keep "Evolution." Just my two cents in case you are planning to add something else.

Yep Yep, I removed my lancer badge when I got mine home.
Know Im thinking about removing the Evolution too.
Like one said before I know what Im driving, anyone else who wants to know , knows already.
I think the on the back is all you really need.

Took mine off in 10 mins. I used floss and a hair dryer.

It looks so much cleaner now!
