So I debadged and this is the first pic of my xb on here. I didn't feel it was necessary to shoot all around. You've all seen what an xb looks like 360 degrees I'm sure.

 

i was thinking about doing this to mine but i have a question. 1 how are they attached? tape? 2- we were going to do this to my buddys 2003 ram and we realized that the badges were put on before the paint was completly dry so there was a lip of sorts around the letters. did that happen with you? is there a halo around where the badges where? can you post close ups. thanks

 

This will give you more info:

Good job, looks great!

 

the badges are just held on with double sided tape

 

thanks guys.

i debadged a few of my past cars. but its a little diff to do it to a brand new car then a 10year old VW that has crappy paint to start with haha...i just dont want to mess up my baby.

 

different cars might have been attached in a different fashion but for the xb, I just waited for a hot day.. which isn't hard to find here. Got a T-shirt, a flat head. Covered the flat-head with the t-shirt then went for it.

You will only need the screwdriver to raise the badges up a bit, from there, you can use your hands to pry it off.

 

Nice and clean without the badges.

 

you can also use a piece of dental floss or fishing line, to get behind the badges on a hot day and see saw throught the tape, or hit it with a hair dryer for like 5 seconds to loosen up the adhesive

 

I used fishing line and Goo Gone on a hot day. Not exactly easy, but it came out nice.

 

i dig the apple sticker!

 

now that i've taken mine off ppl are always askin me what im trying, lol

 

thanks... one day hopefully i can put a mac mini in there.

 

I debadged and then rebadged with the bB badges. I kinda messed up the paint though on my rear liftgate. When it bothers me enough to get me motivated, i'll get it fixed.

 

ya deff gotta love the mac. i jsut got an 17in iMac with the intle chips in it....its beautiful

 

woot... this is the 5th xB i've seen with an apple sticker... including mine.

 

yt ea floss goo gone and w-40 to finish gettin everything off. buffing helps at the end

 

So I debaged mine & then repainted the badges (flat black)...

So what type of adhesive is recommended for getting the rear badge back on my xA?

 

i have the apple stickers on mine too...i had one that was bigger that the normal one that i made at my job, but i took it off because it was a little obnoxious.

 

looks clean

 

I would use 3M double sided tape - automotive grade to reattach the emblems. You can go to any paint shop to get it. I debadged my xb in about 20 minutes. Used Goo-Gone. Let it sit for 3 minutes. Went at it with dental floss. More Goo-Gone during the flossing and finally bye-bye emblems. Used Goo-gone on the remaining tape. No rubbing needed. Just pull them off slowly. All the emblems were in one piece. Fresh coat of wax afterwards and my rear end looks pretty
