hi guys, i wanted to remove the two emblems from the backside of my trunk, "Acura" and "3.0CL". Now I did read the DIY for the removal to use "Goo Gone", hair dryer, and floss. I just bought this car at 73K miles, I'm afraid if I take the emblems off, the area where the emblems were on will be discolored because I have a black car, what do u guys think, just use goo gone, anything else i should use, i hear wd-40 is good??? i know i have to wax too afterwards

 

nope just heat up the emblems, then floss it, then goo gone, then wax...thats it!

 

If you have stubborn "shadows" then you can use a car polish to buff them out before you wax.

Don't be scared. I took mine off @ 50,000 miles on a dark blue car. The ghosting is minimal. I can't even see mine anymore, and all I did was put some wax on it and do it by hand.

 

Polish then wax it. I did mine at around 80miles and haven't seen the ghost image in a while.

 

thanks guys, now i have more courage to do it, hopefully this weekend, i'll let u know how it goes, thanks again!

 

Binny, I plan on doing this this weekend too, if you want some help, lemme know.

by floss, you mean dental floss??

 

i think i can handle this one but i will need some help getting the AEMv2 in, would u be interested in helping me, i'm getting a new motor mount next tuesday, i was going to install it the following weekend, let me know, i don't have a jack

 

Yeah, I can help you put your v2 in. I have a floor jack, jack stands, tire irons, all that jazz. I would be more than happy to help, you may want to use my garage since i have the jack and all that. Let me know when you could do it. You'd have to come to town from uniontown, I'm always willing to rip apart a cl

 

yup, dental floss..try to get the mint one, it smells nice

 

dude, that would be awesome, i can learn a few things too, i'd bring it down, no problem, how bout the weekend after this, either sat or sun, i can meet u up somewhere, where in pittsburgh do u live, near century III, do u know how to put on struts and springs too? i got the tokico illuminas and eibach pro-kit springs, i'd help u with everything if u tell me what to do, just don't know too much to do it myself...lol

 

Binny, I sent u a PM with my phone number. I can definately help you install your intake, the shocks and springs may be a bit much to do in my garage. But I can always help u at least look at it, and see what will need done.

 

i used.. my old credit card.. hair dryer.. finger nails.. gasoline.. clean towel.. and

a new car wash..

looks awesome after i got it done
