Take a weekend and paint all the lower moldings white on your car. it will cost less than $80 and the car will look much cleaner. other than that keep it up. if u want it done right do it yourself.

mine was pretty rough to work on. the lady i got it from last spring had just had the back redone from a fender bender so the glue was pretty new. so it took a lot of time and work to get all the glue off. You could also see where they were initially, damn body shop didn't line them up. But I took my buffer and used some mcguires fine cut cleaner and went over it, then used the swirl remover and finally waxed it. so unless i pointit out no one notices.

Looks nice. Hey you got more done than a lot of other people. My list is like 100 items and even though I am like 25 and have a nice job, sometimes money goes to other things that require more attention like credit cards. Y did i use them in college, ARGH!

i tried to take mine off, and then i couldnt get the glue off, my mom suggested using an S.O.S. pad...bad bad very bad idea. I tried the pad on a corner of the bumper, and it didnt look like it did anything bad, but once the water dried, i saw all the scratches. Unfortunately the water didnt dry until i scrubbed the shit outta the badge areas on both sides...in the end had to pay $150 to get the trunk repainted. If i were you i wouldnt try takin them off unless you plan on repainting the trunk cuz i am almost certain that the glue is wayy to hard and will not come off no matter what you try...I know becuase i tried everything and them some. Usually if you debadge within a year of the cars build date then the glue will still come off fairly easily. I tried doing it in 2001, 4 years later...
