Shave my car? mach 3 turbo will do?

I want to debage my car, and it seems like a simple process that even i cant mess up, yet everyone says use a hair drier. Dont most hair dryers have cords? and what's a heat gun? And what does the term shave mean?

Don't you have one of those long extensions ?

Anyways, you should first use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive, then floss out the emblems. It's really easy..

By the way RMATIC, I just realized that we have more things in common. My tints are also 20%, I have two red sealbelt pads (for the rear), a m3 lip, and an AEM SRI.

what a strange strange thread.

1. you don't have to use a hair dryer or a heat gun. just wait for the sun to heat up your car a lil, then take some dental floss and lieterally floss off your emblems between the emblem and your car.

it should come off really easy. you can use bug and tar remover to take off the remaining glue, or just rub it off. don't forget to wax the area you used the tar remover on.

2. shaving came from people "shaving" door handles and such, basically filling in all the gaps for a clean look. you're really debadging, not shaving.

then the finished product will look like this!



i love that pwp car! some cool guy must own it!

Both dental floss and fishing line will do.

Most shaved door handles I have seen, are on old rebuilt hotrods and trucks. The "pop lock" to open the doors is cool.

I kind of like shaved door handles, depending on the car. On an Integra, they might have been cool, especially if you had lambo doors. That'd be pretty pimp to be walking to your car and having the door open itself.
