New CL-S - Debadging question

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a CL-S w/ Navi last weekend.

Has anyone removed the badging on the rear end of the car? How would I go about it? I prefer the cleaner lines with without them.

Thanks,
Doan

Use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive for alittle while and then use dental flosh to get the badges off. If you want more details, search for it.

I just used the dental floss. Didn't even bother with the hair dryer. Use Goo Gone to remove the rest of the glue after you take the badges off.

Oh... and don't take off the Acura symbol. There are two holes behind it. But you can take off the 3.2CL Type S and A C U R A letters.

Cool, I just did it about an hour ago. Just used dental floss. No goof off required!

The hair dryer and dental floss technique worked perfect for me. I finshed up a substance called "adhesive release" offered at Ace. It took what little residue I had off with no effort at all.

Hmmm, haven't seen many red Cls in Austin at all. Mostly I see black(like mine) and silver.
Good color choice...
