I would like to remove the plastic letters, which spell Mitsubishi, from the trunk of my car. However, I am not sure what would be the best method in order to do this. So if anyone out there has done this and would be willing to share that information with me I would be grateful.

 

hairdryer to get the sticky stuff loose then use dental floss or peel it off, then get some goof off or something and rub all that sticky stuff off. thats basically it, but i know someones gonna tell you to go search

 

I did it the other day to my oz sticker. used a hair dryer to loosen up the glue and then dental floss. i found that using the dental floss left more glue on the car then just peeling it off, obviously, the letters for mitsubishi are smaller, so adjust accordingly. Then I sprayed aome goo gone on it and let it sink in, wiped it off, reheated the glue, goo gone, wipe, goo gone, wipe..... It looks great now.

 

and that person is me! dude, this topic will probably will give you like a million answers if you searched. but just like imapunkclaimer said, get a blow dryer and heat the letters till they're hot to the touch. then get the dental floss and run it through the sticky stuff. after that, get goo gone and rub the sticky stuff off. if the sticky stuff still wont come off, heat it again and rub as much as you can off with your fingers. and MAKE SURE you wax after doing this.

 

shyt ... u had to wax after it? .. no wonder on my trunk u can see the L A N C E R outline. is it too late now>?.. CF trunk would be nice but it might look funny on a yellow car

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEARCH!!!!
and mods please move this to the newbie forum...thank you.

 

ummm, your trunk says mitsubishi on the back?? wtf? ok, maybe u ment lancer, if not then who, post soem pics

 

done

 

ok I was planning on doing this mod soon.....
so if you don't wax it after you'll have a lancer outline on the trunk?? We have a buffer at my house but Ive never used it.... should I buff the outlines with wax after I remove them? would that be the best?

 

just wax with a regular wax applicator and terry cloth.. no need to use the buffer..

 

same here, but after the glue was gone, i rinsed the trunk, dried, and waxed. smooth like a freshly shaved pooseh

 

i dindnt have to wax at all, after the goop was gone it looked cleaner than a babys but...

so does your actually say Mitsubishi, or was it a typo??

 

I think he meant LANCER

 

yeah, prob meant lancer... Buffers are great
