De-badging the 08 Lancer

Anyone have some tips for removing the "Mitsubishi" and "Lancer" badges from the back of the car? I would like to do this without damaging the paint.

Or you could use fishing string, or you could search for evo debadging same thing. Use a hair dryer before the fishing string. Then saw the letters as close to the paint as possible, use goo gone if you get that crap stuf to your paint. Or use your finger nail to get it off. Done. Post pix.

Got it. I used my fingernails to yank them off, and some Eagle One Wipe & Shine to remove the goey stuff

I dont get it you guys are trying to get rid of your badges. Another thing is I dont understand why my car did not come with any badges. Should I be worried did I buy a used car at 40km

Maybe your dealership thought you'd like it better? I doubt it was used at 40km. That was probably all test drives, etc.
