Just want to confirm that there aren't any holes behind the Mitsubishi logo on the trunk is there? Going to pull all badges off and do the evolution x across as long as there weren't any mounting holes behind it.

WD-40 and dental floss is all you need to remove badges with NO marks left in the paint surface. The WD softens the tape glue and foam and when the plastic badge is off the remainder of the "sticky tape" left on the surface rolls off with just your fingers..and the WD doesn't bother the finish of the paint and when your done just wash the car. The biggest pain is, use LOTS of WD which makes the floss hard to grip. This works at any temp.

Or instead of the dental floss thing, just use a non-marring pry bar. They're like a soft spatula, designed specifically for emblem removal without paint damage. Runs about 8 bucks.

Hair drier and goo gone worked out perfectly for me. Easiest way imo, and no scratching.
