Thinking of debadging!!!
Hey all. Im new here and just wanted some heads up on debadging as I plan on doing this some time soon. Can anyone tell me if there are pins that hold the emblem on or is it just the glue? Is it a good idea? ANyone have horror stories to tell about? THanks

most likely if u want the holes filled in.. you'll probably have to take it to a shop
but its really easy to debadge the liter/CL and acura emblems
it just takes a little time (about 30 min), gasoline, your nails, and a old credit car to get it done
(everyone thinks i have a 2.x before i waste them.. haha.. then they're like... "does your 2.2 have a supercharger or something?"... puahaha.. they think im a sleeper)

I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my CL but then it will look exactly like yours but in Black.

do you guys think that it'll leave a shawdow on a black car. i've also been thinking about doing it but im afraid it might leave a shawdow on the paint if i take it off. if ppl say it'll leave a shawdow then i think i will take them off and paint all the emblems a gunmetal/greyish color. ever done b4? let me know thanks.

enough scratching with your nails.. and more gasoline, it wont leave anything behind

how do you think i should go about it with taking it off and using gasoline. i've read that if u use floss or fishing string u could take it off and afterwards use goo off but i have never heard of gasoline. by the way this is a black car, u pretty sure it won't leave much of a shadow?

Yeah, I think you might me right. I've seen it too, but I thought I was just seeing things.

my emblems left the ghost image on.. i had my local car wash buddies buff it out.. then it left a haze of where they buffed it.. then @ the a-cl detail day scott (CLPower) helped me polish it out its barely noticable until i get a new paint job it will be great So if you happen to have a buddy with a power polisher then that might help some too
