Did this on Saturday, spent $0. My Dad had some remover stuff so I used that since it's car safe. Washed it the next day and it looked real clean!

Looks good! I'd pull "Lancer" too because the font is different and it bothers me.

I removed Mitsubishi and Lancer and I'm debating about removing the tri-diamond. I think I may just leave Evolution SE.

Yeah, I thought about taking "Lancer" off but it would look like it's missing something. I might just clean up the whole trunk in the future give it a stealth look.

Looks good, I prefer thin fishing line as it doesn't fray like dental floss but whatever's clever!

If ur girlfriend or mom has a hairdryer, use that. Heat up the badge with a hairdryer and the badges will come off easier....no fishing line/floss needed. But if u still wish to use them it's up to u.

I would use floss just to start it up, lift the badge, but after that, just heat up the badge with hairdryer as u go and it should take the glue off the car with the badge. Use goo gone just to take out excess glue on the paint.

I did mine. I diluted the goo gone with a little water and spread it on the badge for 5 mins. It helped on the lifting part. Thanks to the dental floss with goo gone. And thanks for this tutorial.
