I think I am going to debadge my car tomorrow If I get it back from the dealer. I will post pics once I get it done hopefully I wont see any of the lettering in the sunlight. Nothing like making you car look like someone stole your ACURA and 3.2TL type S emblem LOL!

 

After I took off the Acura I noticed some of the lettering...but after a few washes it disappeared.

 

^ Oh ok cool!

 

interested in sending me the emblems?

 

^ ha if i get them all off in one piece. LOL

 

I think I have my ACURA spread around somewhere in a box in my closet..

 

whats up w/everybody doing useless thread titles.
titles are supposed to be relevant to the thread subject.

i.e. "I think I am going to..."
doesnt tell you anything about the thread and most people who have less time than me would just skip right over it

i.e. "Debadging ACURA letters"
makes me think "hey i just did this. maybe i can help in his question." even though there is no question and you're just talking for some reason.

my 2 cents

btw congrats on thinking you're going to debadge!

 

^ and you know what they can skip over it. I was letting the Azine community kno that I am going to debadge my car.

 

haha true

 

The point of a forum is to talk...I don't see any issue with it. If people don't have time to mouse over the title and read the first few lines then they can come back when the do.

Anyway, let us know how it comes out. I've contemplated this for a while now. Just don't know if I really wanna do it or not.

 

contemplated debadging? wow..

just do it, u will like the clean rear end. its too congested with all that shit in the corner there.

u can always put it back on if u dont like it

 

Exactly!

 

waiting for pics
even though i've seen humdreds of debadged pics...lol
fresh pics never hurt...

 

I took off my 3.2 TL Type S and ended up putting on a 3G TL Type S badge on.

 

ha wish i had my car it's still at the dealer, they have me driving there loaner car I wish i could mod that ugly ass body style of the new TL. I want my car back!!

Hopefully I can debadge it by next week

 

^ haha... you'll probably get it back tomorrow? anyway, after you debadge, remember to wax on, and wax off throughly... and to easily get the badges off, use some warm/hot water and pour it on to the badging and it will easly come right off =)

 

^ yea i debadged my civic and had black glue you know that sticky material all over the trunk and i tried everything I didnt know what the hell i was doing back then.

YES! that give me a good reason to go buy cleaning products for my car I need the whole deal wax, soap everything!

 

I just finished my de-badge this morning and had a hell of a time finishing the black glue.

I scratched the paint where I removed the first A.

Take your time and be patient...not everybody's comes off as easy.

Second time around and mine was a beotch!

I even had a heat gun...point being...

Take your time and don't apply too much scratching power when trying to get that last bit of glue.

Also...with repeated washes...I still see the faintest outline of my 3.2 Type S badge.

That's even after hitting with a Porter Cable and polishing compound.

My badges must have been baked on or something....

 

I need to go buy me a heat gun

 

$20 @ Home Depot.

If you were closer I would just let you borrow mine.

 

O you know what I have a friend that works at Lowe's maybe he can get me a discount LOL!

 

That sounds good.

I don't even know what else I would use this damn heat gun for...

Except a retrofit

 

I would just go with a blow dryer...thats what I used on mine. Sometimes heat guns are just too strong..IMO.

 

hmmm yea i think we have one of those laying around here.

 

Just get some dental floss and Goo Gone and youre good to go. Everyone's debadging...I just want to rebadge for the same price..haha

 

We could have done it at the meet, just takes some patience, I did mine with goo gone and a little time.

 

 

O yea we could have that would have been a good idea. Damn

 

I know i know ive been sick so i cant do anything right now. Hopefully next week

 

it'll look really good

as for the thing about thread titles. it makes future searches easier. someone can search debadge and find threads whereas this one would not pop up unless you searched the entire thread, which would yield too many hits

 

in for pics, debadged ftw.
