emblem removal
- Thread starter SwampAss
- Start date
I used a flame thrower to warm up the adhesive and attached a 3inch thick chain to my cousins 2007 Chevy Tahoe to pull it off. It eventually comes off but not without a lot of pulling. I also had to strap the ass end of my car to a huge federal building for stability.
:lol:
i've heard all the methods.
running floss behind them works only when they're new, or else it takes forever and leaves alot of it behind (bug & tar remover, ftw)
ive also heard to use a plastic knife, like the ones without too much serrated ones (the same ones that you get pissed at because they can't cut through your mashed potatoes without alot of effort), or something about wrapping a knife in painters tape or something.
being that your car is still somewhat new, usually you can get like one edge started and just pull, and it will usually leave alot of the gunk left, but that's not a huge problem to take care of.

Swamp, look under the hood where the emblem is. You are going to have to be careful, but push the four tabs inward without breaking them, then the emblem just comes out. I broke two before I got the picture.

cool thats what i was hopin for. i ordered a couple new emblems, gonna paint them and see how i like it. I dont wanna overdo the black on black theme
I used a blowdryer, some goo-gone and some lightweight fishing wire. I tried dental floss and it kept breaking. NOTE: if you use fishing line, use gloves!! I cut my thumb up using the fishing line to pry off the emblem.

I like the clean look without the emblem. Where did u get it done. How much did they charge?
Got it done at my friends body shop, its was something around $250 i think... got it done about 5-6 months ago.
