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!

 

Only looks faded in certin angles. Looks pretty good!

 

And the modding begins!

The CL looks SO much better debadged. Good work kid. Buff it and itll be gone.

 

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

 

AMEN.

 

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

 

looks goooddd man

 

nice bro..i debaged my shit and saw that the paint had been scraped off a bit.

 

your avatar slightly scares me. ^^

 

i think that is just all ghosting. heres my debadge.

nice job. wax that ass to get that ghosting out as other people said

 

thanks for all the comments guys.

it looks SO MUCH Better!

I decided I really need new tint now...

and I am looking for a 97 grille

 

Good job! the adhesive under your badge looked like mine did too.

looks F-ing great now man

 

For some reason I thought yours was a '97.

 

no, he has a 99, look at the wheels. i want those caps. please and thank you.

 

^nowai, i couldn't have figured that out. Especially from his signature!

Haha you're a beggar when it comes to everyones caps.

 

kewl!

 

where in wa u from?

 

I just went to ebay and got a set

 

Dude . I think that in every thread you post in you have bought something new

thats not a bad thing

 

Puyallup

 

 

looks nice man, thats one of the mods i never got to, along with installing my spoiler

 

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

 

spoiler is a must.

 

It improves the look of the CL's rear so much

 

It does look better but I think it would be much smoother without the (A) anybody has pics?

 

No "A" on trunk, my old shaved CL

 

sorry the pic is so big lol

 

Personaly, I'd perfer the middle (A) on. Looks a little plain without at least that. Dosn't look bad tho.

 

btw, wtf is up with your door handles?

 

non-existent, he had them shaved.

 

 

Debadgin' def. is best look on a CL

 

I think it looks better without the A. Thanks for the pic.

 

As the pic says the CL was shaved. No door handles or emblems on the body

 

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.
