Badges should be easy to remove. Nothing but adhesive holds them on. The only concern when you get them off is that the paint may be a slightly different shade due to the elements fading the rest of the car slightly over the years.

I HIGHLY doubt there would be ANY color change, paints these day dont do that, i think you only concern would be what Haro has, is that the door was repainted at one point and the badge was only taped arouns and not taken off :?

Good point. I didn't realize Haro'* exact circumstances. I just brought up the color issue since I thought I remembered him mentioning a problem he had.
I say debadge it! I like the smooth sleeper look.

i used a screwdriver to take "Bonneville" off mine. i dont advise anyone else try it, though. it worked well for me because i was extremely careful and did it very slowly.

I just did the clear corners up front and will be debadging this week probably. I will let everyone know how it goes.
I will be trying a heat gun with fishing line and goo gone fore clean-up.
