pwdrdayz Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SactoPete Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 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.

NYsFinest Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 You can remove it. You'll be left with two holes. There is no such oval trunk emblem with the L7 logo on it already though. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutru01 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine used in March so it was about a year old and that's what I had to do. My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishline would probably be the best to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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] 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. When Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYsFinest Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 No matter what I use, at a certain reflection you can still see very very lightly shading where the badges use to be......but you gotta look hard. I was thinking of getting the area repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
