dealerships can tell you a "brand new" vehicle up to 200km used (rarely to the limit).

maybe your vehicle was a selected quality control vehicle, or you dealer drove it from a dealership to their own. but that's nothing to be worried about

 

I just dont understand where my badges are . I realize yoou guys are trying to de badge your vehicles but I did not know that they came with badges until I was in Puerto Rico on business and I was showing my boss the car I bought driving by and I saw the Lancer and GTS badge on it . So I was wondering how come mine did not have it.

 

Wait, there's a GTS badge?

 

He said he was in Puerto Rico...

 

im about to debadge mine too. hopefully all goes well

 

hell i like the badges, but good luck

 

If you are in the south like me just wait til a 90 + day and carefully pull them off slowly and gentle. Then get a good wax and buff off what ever is left from the lil bit of glue you should have left.

I pulled mine off at about 40 mile on the odometer and they came off nice and smooth.

The dealers sticker was the biggest pain in the butt because I had to use my fingernail to get the corners up and be very carful.

 

i did the floss and blowdryer method. worked great. thanks guys

 

My car did not come with any badges either and it got only 5 miles on it when I got it. I wonder why?

 

its not really hard, especially if its hot outside, when i took mine off the adhesive just rolled off, i relaly didnt even need the dental floss or the eagle one, like i kept lookin to make sure there wasnt anything left behind but there wasnt.

 

Does the mitsubishi logo come off just as clean as the other badges do? Id love to have a completely clean trunk except for the fast key trunk button.

 

it seems like the logo might be drilled into the trunk. but im not sure. i only took off the 'mitsubishi' and 'lancer' logo.

 

yeah be carfeul because most logo emblems (aside from trim level) are always clipped with screws or tabs that leave holes when removed.

to make sure, try removing the carpeting that is on the trunklid and see if you can see behind it to see if there are holes in the sheetmetal

 

it's not, don't worry.

 

awesome, thank you gts in nj.
