I hate to say it (as I originally wanted a Trans Am or atleast a Mustang GT), but I'm thrilled with the tC!!!! My past accidents prevented me (I'm a full-time student for now atleast) from buying a more powerful car, but the tC options concur every power option that I had!!! Why "debadge" a tC???? I'm proud to have one!!!!

yeah i think the TC'S logo is the same as the XA/XB of wich its held together by tape. I think its the same. If i were you i would just try taking off a corner of the logo (peeling a small part off) and see if it is screwed in

My friend used a nylon fishing line like dental floss and goo gone to remove the residue.

to remove the residue, use 3m adhesive remover. we use that stuff at work (im a detailer) and it doesn't mess up the paint. or u could also use automotive clay

If i were you, i would use floss. i've seen it in many car shows and they use floss to remove badges only to replace them. the thing is, they leave the double sided adhesive, so your gonna have to deal with that.

easily, get a hair dryer or a heat gun, start heating up the emblem, take dental floss, swipe! and it should come off.

or you can use goo gone and let is sit for a while and then take floss and swipeeeeee gone. after that there will be some residue left. get a towel, microfiber, and put some goo gone on it and start wiping away the residue. after that cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
