from what I have read its not that hard.

1. Hair Dryer or heat gun.
(Take heat source & heat the badge up for a little while)
2. Fishing line or something similar.
(Take line like flosh & rub behind badge.)
3. Remove remaining glue.
(Use a product ment for this cant think of names right now)
4. Wash Area & then wax.

I think thats about all there is to it.

Mine was easy fo' sheazy...
just used some dental floss and went back in forth in a sawing motion. I didn't need wax or anything, the glue just rubbed off on your fingers. My car was set out in the sun most of the day, so I didn't need to heat it, either.

You don't even really need a heat gun. All I did was take dental floss and saw off the badge, than pick the goo left over with my fingers and than washed it off clean. That was it.

When I debadged mine, I left it out in the sun, poured some "Goo Gone" around the badge, pried it off with dental floss (which kept breaking), then cleaned it up with more Goo Gone. Was easy.

I would like to take the Scion logo off, then handpaint a small red dragon head, surrounded by flames on the indented circle. Any round type of logo would look good there. I was thinking of putting a Scion Evolution sticker there, but put it on the bottom right of the rear window instead. On the other hand, the Scion logo doesn't bother me, so I have left it on there for now.

The gray pinstriping was a freebie from Fisk, who pinstriped the flames. I really like what he did with it.

I am seriously wanting to remove the rear wiper, but first I have to find something to put on the wiper nub.

SCI FIRE Thats a great looking xA you got there. I would say if you got some metal skills maybe take the whole wiper system out of the back & weld a patch into place. That would smooth out the rear & take some weight off the car with out all the stuff for the wiper to work.
