De-badge?

I've seen a lot of people saying that they de-badged their vehicles. Personally I'm not sure if I want to do it yet or not, however I would like to know how to do it if I do decide to go that route.

Any hints or pointers?

umm its really not that hard just take some dental floss and its kinda like cutting threw cheese really. if it tends to be hard to get threw the glue just use a hair dryer to heat it up and go at it with the floss.

What I did is do it when its fresh when your cars not that old, becasue if you wait it will be harder to get off. Let your car sit in the sun for like 30 min, then get some dental floss or fishing line. Pull the floss/line behind the badge, after you got it off, get some GooGone to get rid of the sticky, works great check out my cardomain page for pics.

Thanks for the tips! Hmm, it looks nice... I showed the picture of my girlfriend and she said "I like it with the sign".

As a guy you can either be HAPPY or RIGHT!

Personally, I like the clean look of it. I left my triple-diamond logo on, but removed the "Mitsubishi" and the "Lancer".

It is really starightforward - just heat up the logos, then cut them off with floss. I didn't use fishing line because I was worried about dragging it across my paint and scratching it. Once they're off, a bit of Goo Gone, and you're done

Because I hated the black outline on the MITSUBISHI. I left the LANCER and the , but I pulled off the one that didn't match the rest...
