I bought some black chrome emblems, and I would like to get the factory ones off, w/o scratching the paint/etc obviously.

Any easy tips/hints/advice anyone would care to share?

Thanks in advance.

 

hairdryer, goo-gone and either fishing line or floss...

 

I think I can manage that.

Thank you Sir.

 

not a problem... yeah its a pita, but it works... the hardest part is taking the double faced tape off... the emblems come off pretty easy... but u have to let the goo-gone soak into the tape... then take it off with a microfiber cloth... since ur replacing yours, i would tape off where the original ones were so that you can accurately place the new ones... also, clean the area really good so that the new emblems stick... good look and post pics...

 

I used fishing line...

 

i did what s2killa did and it worked decent

 

I'll snap some pics.

They arrived today, I'll get some up this weekend or when the rain freakin stops

I pulled my stock h's off by hand, but these s2000 ones seem to be stuck on there really good.

 

the hair dryer helps alot

 

How much did those black chrome emblems set you back? Should have bought some genuine mugen ones for $50 / pop

 

I bought those black chrome ones from HTG a couple of years back and really like them.

I used some painter's tape to mask an outline of where the stock emblems are so I didn't muff up the placement of the new ones.

Good luck! can't wait to see your results.

Bauley...

what Mugen emblems are you referring to?

 

i think hes referring to the same company that sells the fake M3 badges... You know the ones that are on his 3 series...

 

That's Billy, I have a Mazdaspeed Miata.

 

HTG as well

 

im sorry to confuse you... youre the one with the Zoom-Zoom stickers on the tail lights, right???

 

No, but I have zoom zoom tattoed on my *******

 

nice... im sure billy loves it...

 

hair dryer or let it sit in the son and peel, if you want to keep the old ones in good shape use fishing line or something...
if you dont car, just pull them off

 

Used fishing line to remove the emblem and then used a 3M wheel eraser to remove the sticky tape

 

i used a plastic badge scraper & a hair dryer, then some goo gone for any extra residue

 

soak the oem emblems in goo gone

 

Sourced the hair dryer, a buddy, goo-gone and some fishing line.

Should have before/afters tomorrow.

I'll get em posted up.

 

Well, I took before pictures, I'll post them all when I get the afters taken.

The hair dryer and fishing line worked like $$, but the old glue/tape looks to be FREAKING impossible to get off there...go gone won't even touch it...

Any ideas???????????

 

3m adhesive remover is what i had to use

 

3m eraser

 

It doesn't damage the paint does it?

Also, where did you get it?
