Debadged!
Looks good!
Step 1: Purchase extension cords, and wax (turtle wax)
Step 2: Heat badge, apply dental floss, easily comes off.
Step 3: with hair dryer, remove adhesive, then apply bug+tar remover, continue to wipe off
Step 4: apply wax

I didn't even need a hairdryer. I just pulled the badges off, then rubbed my finger on the adhesive to get it off. If it didn't come off, I used a cloth diaper to get the rest off. Then I waxed.

I still don't know why we call it "debadging" in this case. We're really deleting the model designation (which is an option on Porsches, even on their website when you customize your own). Don't get me wrong, it looks great. Even my cars have been cleaned up in this manner. If only we had black-chrome badging like my S2000 had available from the dealer as an accessory option that Honda made.

Ferris : [ignoring Cameron] Wow.
Cameron : Ferris, he never drives it! He just rubs it with a diaper!

Hmmmm.....I'm thinking about debadging my rear as well. What do you guys think? I'm thinking that debadging everything in the rear looks best.
Its kinda small, but you get the gist of it.
