I'm guessing most of you didn't see the username and password in his sig.
I don't think the debage looks bad, but I also don't think it looks great.
Just curious, but what's the reasoning for debadging (style, secrecy/stealth, or just hate double sided tape on your car)?

very sleek! nice!! How long did it take? Is it more of a process than just removing the letters? Should I use floss, fishing string??? What tint did you get? I'm thinking about 35%, don't want it too dark. I've had friends that were pulled over and had to remove their tint from the front two windows.

First I took a hair dryer to the emblems for about 2 minutes. Then I used floss to pry it away from the car. BUT, BE SURE TO PULL THE FLOSS AWAY FROM THE CAR AS TO NOT SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE CAR. You'll have to use the hair dryer a few more times in the process to soften the glue up more. After the emblem is off, I used 3m adhesive remover and another "paint safe" remover. Then finally is takes about 5 minutes of using your finger (not your nail) to rub the rest of the glue off. After everything was gone I washed the surface with water and finished it off with meguier's spray wax......Total process took me abotu an hour. ...oh, my tint is 5% on all the windows and 35% on the entire windshield.......
