how to do it? I have tried, but it is so tight. I am afriad broken the paint!

 

Run a search under "debadge" or "debadging." Any specific concerns?

 

easy way to get the emblem off is to get dental floss and slide it behind it and just work it down through i did this to my mitsu symbol and my es symbol the worse part is just gettin all the adhesive off but its not that bad

 

whats up man, ok heres how you do it, just get some fishing line and start at one end hook it under the first letter and just drag it until you have all the letters that you want off.

 

^^ Dude...

Anyways, here's some tips:

Use a hairdryer to heat up the letters, then use some dental flossing in a sawing motion...

There will be some adhesive left over, just use goo gone or a similar substance... be sure to wash and wax your car afterwards.

Hope this helps:

Basically what you do is take a hairdryer, heat up the emblems enough to loosen the glue, slide a bit of dental floss or fishing line behind and basically saw through the glue. Use goo gone to get rid of the excess glue, but be careful not to rub to much or you might strip the clear coat and ruin the paint. Once your done wax your trunk to protect it.

 

Basicially its been covered ^^

Another tip I guess is to heat the excess glue some more after the emblems are off to make it easier to rub off with goo gone.

 

I twisted them off with my hands and used lighter fluid to take the adhesive off... haha..

 

me too!!

 

Here in Georgia is not necessary to use any heat source in the summer . I just used the dental floss trick and afterwards used some cleaner wax to remove the residue. I guess in cold weather and cold climates it might be good to use a hair drier to loosen up things a bit....

 

....have you looked outside, it's not quite summer anymore but then again we got 4" of snow in september....so i guess it's not quite fall either.....damn alaska.

 

Dental floss, not dentalwork

 

i was gonna just pull off a long thick back hair, but decided to use floss instead, worked nicely

 

I did it in the morning in the middle of winter '01

 

I was looking at this thread and noticed that I have never had an ES badge on my trunk, I did buy it used, but its funny how ive been so clueless.
