Finally, trunk emblems debadged (B4/After Pics)
Thats right, I finally decided to remove the "LEXUS" and "ES300" emblem from my trunk. It turned out to be a lot easier than I had planned it to be....The materials I used were:
- Fishing line
- Bug and tar removal
- Plastic Spatula
- WD-40
- Cloth Towel
Using fishing line makes it so much easier to remove the emblems. I used a semi-sharp edge spatula to remove the excess adhesive from the car. The adhesive came off in about 10 minutes of using the spatula and bug and tar removal, followed by WD-40 which helped get rid of the outlining of the "LEXUS" emblem. The "ES300" emblem took me 5 minutes to remove as well as the glue....I have to thank lexusk8 for his tutorial on how to properly debadge.
