Well I did mine two ways of removing the badges. I pulled the first one off the trunk. I broke this one. Then I heated the pass side one with a hair dryer and pulled gently and the third, It came off in one piece and then I used my halogen light and warmed up the driver side. I then used a piece of dental floss and that worked the best.
Removing the glue adhesive is another story. That was a pita.
^the back is :th_sign-holysheep:

dammit, see when i did mine, i was told to use goof off or goo gone and rubbing off the excess put scratch marks in my paint, and i have black.
May sound like a silly question but did you use a clean towel with the goof off? I remember removing wax from my old car with what Looked like a clean cotton rag, scratched my trunk up pretty bad.Quote:

i need to debadge the grand prix off my trunk... i think im going to keep the pace car stickers
I used a blowdryer and dental floss to remove the one on the trunk of my car. I used Goo Gone to remove the adhesive and did not have any scratches from it. The only bad thing is you can kind of see where the badge was when you get really close to it but other then that it looks fine.
i used a clean towel, and whenever bits and pieces came off, i shook the towel off. im really anal when it comes to black so i dunno how this couldve happened. only in the shade my car looks good.
To the OP. Why exactly are you replacing your badges again? Wouldn't an overlay make more sense?
Not quite sure what an overlay is. I was planning on replacing the two "GTP supercharged" badges on the sides with yellow ones, also replacing the Pontiac symbol on the front with yellow and getting the Pontiac in yellow on the back bumper. I'm getting all the products from reflectiveconcepts.com.Quote:

ya dont waste your money getting new badges when you can get any colored decal to cover the stock color which will be 10x cheaper.
Oh haha yea that's what i was looking at. Guess i didn't read to well exactly what i was looking at.Quote:

Very true. The part where it said OVERLAY should have been an indicator it wasn't a replacement badge.Quote:

All I did was clean the the badges really well and let them dry. Worked fine for me, my overlays aren't going anywhere.
heat gun and some fishing line, sometimes it just picks right off the surface.
