removing the A badge

Hey I know this has been covered many times but I searched and my question really wasnt answered. When you remove the A-badge I know there are two pins on the trunk lid that stay there. How do you get around the pins? Just pull straight off or what? I debadged my trunk but I think it makes it look like a 16 year olds car so I moded all the factory badges and put em back on. I was thinking of messing with the center one. Lemme know.

If you take it off, you will have holes in them. But if u really want to do it, just go around until you feel you hit the two pins.

:imwithstupid: Best way to do it. You can also have the badge painted color match to the car and it kinda dissapears from a distance.

this would be cheaper and I think would look pretty good.

i guess i am not being clear. i am going to modify the factory badge... do I just pull it straight off? I dont need to plug the holes or anything cuz the badge is going back where it was.

Pull it straight out, ...I decided to back into my roomates trailer (sober of course, he he he)and just had my rear deck lid replaced. I pulled the badge off. It leaves to little holes. I decided that I liked the look with it on so I had the body shop put a new one on. I do like the idea of having that painted to match the car. Might have to get that done.
