Hey Guys,

Im in Boston right now, and Im not near my car, but Im planning a list of the things I need to do when I get back to NY

As far as the rear emblem is concerned, is it double stick taped on? or are there pin holes too? I want to paint it black then re-install it.

Whats the easiest way to take this bad boy off?

-thanks!

 

as i posted in your other one. its a double post. and BUMP cause id like to know how to remove this too.. just goo gone? i tried heating and prying it out but it was hard as hell to get out soooo there goes that idea..

 

i removed my tC one and noticed how a couple of you guys put it on the front grille. i was wondering what you guys used to make it stay on

 

1. SEARCH!

These questions have been covered before. Removal is easy...heat emblem, use floss or fishing line in a 'sawing motion', just be careful of the alignment pins on the front and rear "Scion" emblems. You can use Goo-Gone to get the left-over adhesive off your car, but its not necessary. To put it back on, you can use heavy duty automotive double-sided adhesive or a silicone adhesive. To actually paint your emblems, you're going to have to SEARCH for that one!

 

Thanks so much for the response and sorry for the double post.

and just so you know i had already:
1.SEARCHED

3.......SEARCHED

there are no other posts how to remove the actual scion logo, just the tC one (which i already did).

but thanks for reminding me to do that.

 

Its pretty much the same process. Make sure you are aware there are two small tabs that fit into two holes in the body.

 

thanks!

thats what i was looking to find out...i didnt wanna yank it off and not know that there were two tabs.

so im going to use goo-gone, a toothpick and elbow grease.

 

I just did a SEARCH...

Its all good.

 

just use goo gone.

 

hahahah if you actually read that article, its for the tC badge, NOT the scion emblem.

thanks tho [/i]

 

Does goo gone have any effects on our amazingly durable paint finish?

 

mine got jacked by goo gone.. or maybe it was the paper towels... HAHA... def the paper towels.. i dunno.. i got some polish.. i'll put that on... just dont use a paper towel.

 

That method works for ALL emblems. Sheesh.

 

I've been contemplating doing this for a while now, I'm still undecided.

 

As mentioned in the link above............yup, you might get adverse effects on your amazingly durable paint. I wouldn't know, and in that same token.......wouldn't dare

 

ive removed badges from all sorts of cars

goo gone is harmless, as long as you use caution, and not a lot. Also, once you take off the emblem, wash the area with car soap and water, then put a coat of wax in that area to make sure it stays protected (just for safe measures)

ive never had any problems and I've done it a good 15 times.

 

Put the goo gone onto a towel first. Don't apply it directly to the surface, and therefore, you won't be able to miss any and leave it on your paint to ruin it.

 

goo gone is very abrasive and can take off clear coat. but if you're just taking off an emblem you won't use enough nor have it on the car long enough to have any negative effects
