    I want to remove all emblems/badges and add maybe a small GT badge (undecided). Does the front Pontiac badge come off just like all the others? Ive heard some have holes underneath?

    Also I want to paint behind my wheels, the calipers for sure! Is this hard? Also what can I use to clean or paint the rust behind my wheels??? I just bought it a week ago and it needs some tlc!!!

    I believe the Pontiac logo comes off easily with no holes underneath. But you will be left with an arrowhead molded in your bumper so why not leave it on?

    The door ding things(not 100% on the actual term) have holes underneath so they can't just be pulled off.

    i removed all of my badges with no incident..although you may want to have some adhesive remover handy because there will be some left after you peel them off. and yes the front emblem will have an indention for where it is supposed to go i painted mine black and with the black grille it looks pretty good. im uploading more pix tonite so if you would like to take a look feel free. hope this helps.

    check and make sure clear coat isn't built up around the badges, which meant the car was repainted at one point and they taped around the badges and you will be better off leaving them alone.

    My 96 was done that way. No matter how much wet sanding and buffing I did you could always see grand prix se on my doors. I'm not much of a decal or overlay guy so I just left it.
