quick question guys a little off topic but what hold the emblems on how do you go about taking them off? thanks ahead of time any info would be great.

 

i believe it mounting tape......and you dental floss it to remove

 

That's exactly what I did.

 

Yea, pain in the @ss to get it off. Make sure not to crack it.

 

yeah I cracked my rear emblem the word evolution

 

sorry guys maybe you misunderstood me a little bit. but i am painting the mitsubishi emblems in the front and the rear. how do they both come off?dental floss? and how should i get them back on there? also the front emblem has that black piece around the outside of it, does the chrome emlblem come out of the black plastic piece? thanks for the help guys. greatly appriciated.

 

Well, the chrome emblem DOES come out of the black piece, but it's a fight to get it out and you're probably going to break it trying to get it out. The adhesive they used to put it on is tacky as heck and since the emblem is very thin where the 3 diamonds meet, it is likely to crack if you are prying on 1 diamond at a time. Some have suggested that heat might loosen up the adhesive, but I didn't try that. I ended up masking off the front of my car with Hefty bags so that only the emblem was exposed and applying several coats of paint & clearcoat during a sunny (but cool) day.

You can also take the emblem off the front of the car, as it's only 1 screw holding it on, but you have to open the hood & pull the plastic push-plugs out so you can wedge your arm between the thin space to get in there, and then it's a contortionists wet dream trying to unscrew it with your hand wrenched up like a dying sock puppet. But that works, too. I'd just mask the front of the car & shoot it, but that's my take on things...

 

Bump for updated pics on first page.

 

Yeah I just broke mine lol I tried taking of the emblem on the front of my eight and broke it....back to the drawling board.
