Cool Quick and successful debadge!
So today I decided, hell, this is the perfect day to debadge!

it was 100% clear and sunny + hot out.

there is a TINY bit of paint-difference I guess, but that makes sense... and it will probably go away after a few weeks in the sun anyway right?

heres some shots!

Get some compound wax-it will make the paint match. After that polish w/regular wax and you'll never know it was there!

Good work, debadging is a great mod. Def wax and buff it that'll help with the ghosting

debadging is definitely a mod that (i believe) makes the car look a whole lot better. makes the caboose look cleaner and more refined.

Wow, that is the first shaved CL that I've seen. Nice. Should have shaved the side things in the middle of the doors too.

I think the middle things are stuck on with adhesive... or at least my mom's F150 was and we had to get them replaced when we repainted the door due to stupid ass people keying the truck for being a little to close to them.

the middle A has screws or something attaching them to the trunklid.

i think the trunk looks too plain without the A. i was thinking of painting mine black, to match the car.

uhh..theres no screws holding the A on the trunk in. Its same shit as the badges, reapply with 3M. No screws whatsoever. There are 2 holes in the trunk though for the pins i guess you could call them on the back of the A.
