goo gone/debadging

i successfully removed the '3.2tl' tag.

it look so much better.

i am going to do the 'A C U R A' letters also.

but the foam tape residue is a b***tch to get off.

where can get this 'GOO GONE' stuff.

i can't find it.

Use a hair dryer to heat up the remaining tape that's on your car. Then simply just use your fingers and rub it back-and-forth until it comes off. No need to spend money....

Take a yarn or string....place it behind each lettering/emblem...use a hair-dryer to heat it up for a couple mins..take the yarn or string and start pulling it towards you.

After taking off all the badging and the sticky adhesive..just use some wax and it'll clear that part up real good.

I just Debadged the 3.2TL. I actually like the A C U R A, plus it's a pain to realign when you put th badging back on for resell.

Correct. The A has two small holes under it, you would need a shop to bondo and paint it.

Forget Goo Gone, just take a rag with some WD-40 on it and rub away. Just make sure to wash & wax real well afterwards.
