Wait till this weekend or next, I wanted to get my body kit on and a wash and then take her up the hill and get some shots with the aspens/moutains.

Snowed yesterday so it is hard to keep her clean.

yeah a used a hair dryer and heated it up untill it was hot to the touch and then doubled (single strand breaks) up some floss and it came off pretty easy. Then I used goo be gone, from target or somewhere and sprayed that on and let it sit for a few minutes and then scrubbed the sticky residue off. then I waxed the areas (they were looking a little dull) where I removed the badges. It is pretty easy and I think it makes it a lot cleaner, plus, I know what kind of car it is, so why do I need labels.

nope, they certainly wont. You can however retape your emblems and stick them back on if you choose.

you can buy anything if you have the money, we figured you were talking about for free.

Looks great.

You should take pics of your car in the scenic outlook off of US-36 just outside of Boulder. That would be really hot if you could get a shot of your debadged CG looking at the Flatirons. Definitely a wallpaper shot that I am going to take soon of my NHB.
