lester_strud Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just a quick question! I think I know the answer to this but thought I would just check. I've recently purchased a LGT wagon which I pick up on Saturday...(Can't wait). Well I asked the salesman if it was possible for them to remove the model badges on the back. He told me that the badges are drilled and attached to the bodywork. I know that lots of you have removed the them and they were just stuck on. Are the Canadian Car badges attached in a different way or is it just that the salesman doesn't know what he's talking about? I was looking at removing the "Legacy" and the "2.5 GT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 the only one you wont be able to remove is the subaru star emblem in the center of the trunk. THe rest are just stuck on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lester_strud Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 So Canadian or US, doesn't make a difference! I guess he didn't want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lester_strud Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Cheers, I'll give him a clip round the earhole and do it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Tell him to do it or you won't take delivery of the car...hahaha, no, but its really easy to debadge...there is a thread around here somewhere, but I used some dental floss to cut through the sticky stuff behind the letters, peeled the letters away, then cleaned it all up with some goo gone, and scratch x (removes the letter's imprint). Like stated before, you can't take the subaru emblem off, without exposing holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 +1 +2 Tell the sales man to get off the crack. Or don't, and just go home and take the wording off with a hair dryer and some dental floss. But Don't take off the blue Subaru Star badge, first because it looks way too cool, and second, because it actually is screwed on with 2 pegs that you will have to fill, and paint. But nobody actually takes off the star badge. edit- Rallispec pointed this out in the FIRST response. I just don't like to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdqgp Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 easy to debadge the car.....use a hairdryer and heat up the items for about 45 seconds or so of direct heat...I used a plastic spatula from the kitchen to lift up on them and all my cars and logos lifted up easily and peeled off in once piece...just go slow is all. My Trailblazer had logos pretty much all across the back deck....here it is clean http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/7000710.jpg My Accord is clean shaven too: http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/34018755.jpg I even did the 5oz GTP logos back when I had my GP's: http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/39716713.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Why do I want to make my car faster and look different ? Dunno, maybe I'm just weird. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Dragon Slayer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I was thinking more like making the car more non descript from the back. The chrome badges look very elegant on the rear trunk. With out the badge in the back it could be confused for a honda or toyota whitch can be a good thing. A parking ticket in NY can be thrown out if it indicates a different car . Although the computerized tickets some meter maids use scans the bar code off the registration sticker thus eliminating that defense. my badges will be off this weekend.
