Anybody think about taking off the badges on your car.
If you did already, do you have pics?

How bout taking them off, painting them, then putting them back on....

 

I took off the small tC badge on the trunk. Pretty easy to do. Just get some floss and work through the glue on the back. Then use a butter knife to very gently scrape off the excess glue. I will post pics later on tonight if I remember

 

Thanks,

I was thinking of taking them off, and painting them like a gun metal with a clear coat

What do you think, Clayton1?

 

I wouldn't use a butter knife for fear of scratching the paint.....rub off what glue you can with your thumb.....then use some goo-gone or alcohol........

 

This is like the millionth post about this.

 

i heard the best way to do it:

use a blow dryer...
peel them off with your fingers, floss, or fishing line...
then buff the spot with some good wax...

 

That would look pretty sweet I think. Although i wouldn't really know how to go about reattaching them. I wonder if you can just reheat the glue? Post pics if you do paint them b/c i want to see how they turn out.

 

i debadged my xb and made it a toyota bb?

 

I'll prob do it closer towards the end of the week when I have some free time from work and school....

You can prob find some adhesive strictly for badges at like autozone or pepboys.

 

I heated it up with a blowdryer
then i stuck some floss behind it and pulled till it came off.
then i used some goo gone to take the residue off.
very easy to do.

 

and this is posted under power hungry cause why??? i mean toes it add like a tenth of a horsepower or something

 

dude, get a life...

 

It definately makes a difference in your 0-100 times... I think it adds like 10 horses and you lose 8/10ths of a pound... dude... he probably just put it in power hungry by mistake... I took mine off too and it looks clean... but now more people ask me what it is

 

someone decided to take off mines for me when i was parked at work..they left all the gunk though

 

omfg....a butterknife???....no, dont do that. just rub it out hard with ur thumb, it will come right off.....ive debadged all of my previous cars and never has it taken more than that to get the glue off

 

ill post some pics...i took off the front and painted it and put it back on with 3m plastic emblem adheasive adn the rear "tC" painted that and moved it to the front upper grill...pics will show better

 

I used a blow dryer and floss, then bug and tar remover.....replaced the TC with a TRD emblem, pics are in my gallery

 

Could anyone tell me where to get a TRD emblem?

I've been looking for one lately...

 

try trdparts4u.com my friend gave me an extra he had, but thats where he got them from, it was like $20 for 3 of them
