How to remove badges??
I've read several different methods to remove badges, but I'm unsure about what ones to trust.
What methods have some of you done, and the steps you took?

I used goo gone for left over glue, and a hair dryer for actual badges.

and be careful if you use a heat gun, especially on the plastic body panels. use it on the lowest setting and keep it moving or you could end up causing the plastic to bubble.

Fishing line is all i needed, i had a hairdryer available, but they came off with the line alone.
Instead of Goo Gone, i had a bottle of De-Solve-It which worked great.

They are the long pieces of trim on your door about 2/3rd's down. It is also done with fishing line and maybe a hair dryer.

they just stand out enough from the door to prevent someone else's door from crashing into yours. it hits that plastic bumper rail, instead. |
