Debadged WDP

So here is a teaser to my debadging that is currently in progress. Removed "ACURA" and "TL" from rear. Im also removing the Door Guards...only one problem... The passenger side guards came off with out any problem, and most of the double sided tape went with the guard leaving very little to rub off. The driver side is a totally different story. Maybe 10% of the double sided tape went with the guard, and not only that but it is two lines of tape instead of the passenger side which had one line of tape the width of the guard. This stuff is terrible too, the foam part of the tape will come off with a lot of rubbing, but the glue stays on the body and has to litterally removed with a finger nail. Ive been working at it now for about 2 hours, trying it all; Bug and tar remover, hot water, sitting in the sun (sun burnt now). Ive taken a break from it for a little while, but here are some teaser pics off my phone.





Gonna go try and finish up the driver side, wash wax, possibly clay, and snap some pics later on tonight.

Serisouly though buying a used comes with other peoples screw ups. The previous owner used pointed screws to hold the license plate in place, which means that ive got two holes in my bumper under license plate frame..sucks. big time. Maybe at some point i can fix it...where do you keep your front plate?

And im too ashamed of the way the driver side looks right now

I'm pretty sure there's two holes built the front bumper already for license plate. I think you can just buy plugs to cover it.
