Debadging Tutorial Pt 1. Done w/ PICS

Hey all, I just finished debadging the acura's A-C-U-R-A and I think it looks awesome. I made sure to take a bunch of pics which you can find below. I will be taking off and moving the 3.2 CL Type S soon so stay tuned!

I tried that but I found out that there was a risk of scratching the paint when you do it that way.

Can't believe people need a writeup with pics for this :P Is it hard to imagine a hair dryer/heat gun being held and then the proper way to hold the floss as you slide & wiggle it underneath the emblems? Visualize people! Visualize!

BTW: I did mine w/o hair drier and w/o floss, just waited for a 100 degree day, left the car in the sun a while and let 'em rip...

I did use goo gone though...

Cool informational write-up dude
