I'll apologize now as I'm sure this has probably been answered... What is longest anybody has waited before debadging? I have OBP outback and have resisted doing this for fear of noticeable color difference between debadged areas and surrounding area.

[quote name='yuhocheung']okay...after reading so many posts... is it possible to debadge the blue star badge on the trunk? i'm thinking of replacing it with pink stars... and if it's possible will the fish line trick work? thanks[/quote] NO, there are 2 small holes that hold it in place.

I believe that you can REPLACE the rear badge, your just can't completely de-badge because of the countersink and posts. I don't think it's bolted on. I'll actually be doing this this weekend, picked up a CF badge set from Robson Tuning, did the front already no problemo, but haven't gotten around to the rear yet.

Just got done debadging my car. I must of applied turtlewax 3x and although it looks great, if you look at it from a inch away on an angle you can make out the word subaru barely. I'm chalking it up to being a black car, but overall looks great.

I bought mine used in March so it was about a year old and that's what I had to do.

[quote name='hutru01']I debadged my 06 LGT this past weekend. It was relatively easy. I used dental floss and WD-40. My car is only three months old so waxing wasn't necessary. Here is the pic. Sorry for the camera phone quality.[/quote] As for the dental floss, it works, but it does break after each letter. Fishline would probably be the best to use.

Just use some fishing line and it will take like 5 min.

I have OBP outback and have resisted doing this for fear of noticeable color difference between debadged areas and surrounding area.[/quote] Have you done this yet? I have an '01 Outback Ltd. Black Granite Pearl that had pinstriping installed at the port. After 2 years, it was peeling up, so I stripped it. (That was 2002.) It's not bad, but after a fresh wash, and in the direct sunlight, I still see the lines from the pinstripe. It's also spent its life in the North East, where the UV isn't as bad as some of the rest of the country.

I've been looking, and the only ones I can find are smaller for the impreza. I'd lke to see how it looks with the pinks.
