SLE/SSEi badges
 

Just a quick question:

Is it only double-sided tape holding the side badges to the doors or are they stamped on like older cars?

I've been toying with the idea of removing them for a cleaner look and was curious if anyone had done this already...

Thanks guys!

they are taped/glued on. try a hair dryer to remove.
a heat gun may get to hot be careful

Perfect thanks!

A little soap and hot water should take care of any leftover glue right? Nothing to worry about, I assume.

just be sure to wax the area after your done

Try dental floss to remove the badge. The 'Goof Off' to remove the residue. ;)

Why are you debadging the SLE? It is a wonderful looking car from the sig pic I can see it is in great shape. *You have great taste in cars...* Good luck, heat it up, try so floss, the wax well after removing. I did the a similar to a dealer sticker on mine in July she came of so easy.

Eh, I like the clean look. 8)

Anyway thanks for the compliment; I try to keep it in as good of shape as possible, keep it in the garage/away from cars in parking lots etc. I have a few other subtle things in mind like exhaust tips, but no big changes to the exterior. Sure could use about a 1" drop. :roll:

Of course, we all have great taste in cars don't we? :lol:

NEVER use goof off on paint. Use goo gone. Goof off will dull and strip horribly. Goo Gone does the same w/o harning the paint.

I'd be affraid to use either. I'd just use a good wax with a cleaner already in it.

I've proven Goo Gone on tons of stuff that is weaker than the paint on our cars. And on my car..(darn dealer stickers)
