looks good..... I was going to do it, but since I got the rims the badges kinda go with the chrome look so I kept them there..

all I need now is a chrome grill to finish it up..... keep it up Majesty...

Okay this is the way i did it (only because i was too lazy to drive down and get the right tools for the job)...

i used a lighter, a flat screw driver, and a cotton cloth....

wrap the cloth round the flat head, heat each letter and loosen with screw driver, then slowly take it off with ur hands (yes it is very hot). All in all, it worked great for me, no scratches, or screwdriver slips, just a lot of goo to clean up after removal.

However, if ur gonna do it.. get urself a hair dryer, and fishing string... much easier!!!

Looks good. I left the burger on my stock spoiler because of the holes, but stripped the badges.

I would NOT recommend using a screwdriver... WTF?? A hair dryer, some fishing line and some 3M adheasive remover will do it nicely. Heat the badge, saw behind it w/the line and clean up afterwards

Looks great!!! I went the air dryer approach. Very easy. It is much easier to wash and wax the beast now. You may even get people asking you what kind of car that is, especially if you replace the front grill.

I think it's much better debadged. For those that want to remove their goods, I did a write-up...it's from my 350Z, but it's relevant to all cars
