Thumbs up

hey guys, here are some pics of my debadging... just to let you know that if you scrub it hard with wax/polish and goo gone you can get every little bit of residue off.. it does take time though. Oh i my car is a 98 with lost of miles, so if it can be done on mine it can be done on yours!

Far Picture....

Very nice man!

I like the "debadged" look. It makes the rear look very clean and uncluttered!

i just did mine last night too.

fwiw, using lighter fluid, the naphtha stuff, worked for removing the adhesive residue. just had it laying around and it worked great, saved me a trip to the hardware store.

I just did mine. I love the clean look. I took me approximately 12 min. on a hot summer day. Waxing is defiantly important.

I know for certain there are no holes behind the L on a 2001. I took all yhe badges off mine. If you are not sure you could probably take the liner off inside the trunk and check.
