[DIY] Remove Trunk Tags

This is pretty simple just like all my other things. You need a hairdryer and some Goofoff (adhesive remover).

I would get a really smooth rag so you dont scratch your baby and then test out your remover by rubbing it on a non important part of your car to make sure it wont remove paint. I tried it under my hood on the strut towers. If that passes the gay test then get the hair dryer and BLOW the sexy letters until they are nice and hot. Move it around sensually until you can get it off but be gentle because you dont want any scratches on her. Now youre left with all this sticky stuff and its probably all warm. Just get your rag and motion lotion and rub it on nicely until it sexually pleases you and thats all. Ill get some pictures later.

you wouldn't like the tags if you had an ES or LS! By the way, I'm glad to see people haven't been so hard on the newbs these days. This guy would have been an easy target.

I used small piece of Lexan plastic,you know the stuff they make R/C bodys out of .That is some though stuff and won,t scatch the clearcoat. And brake cleaner to eat up and soften the foam and glue and also will not harm paint. Replaced the lancer on the back and the diamond with carbon vinyl.

Thats not glue on your trunks. Its rubber cement. I used pain thinner and found it far potent then an entire bottle of goo gone. The paint thinner did i not harm the clear coat or the paint at all.
