Default Just debadged the whip

I just finished debadging my car. It was actually pretty easy. Heated up the glue with a blow dryer then used floss for the 300 badge, then, check this, I used my debit card to remove the GS and the LEXUS badges, at least it didn't cost me anything. Will have pix up when I finish washing it.

Really!?!? I thought that we had to refill wholes in the trunk. Great man, can't wait to see the pics.

No holes at all, just have to get rid of the pesky adhesive residue and then give it a good wax

Can you remove the "L" safely, or does that have holes too?

The "L" can be removed safely without having to worry about holes. I know there have been a few here that have done it... It looks odd, but I kind of like it at the same time.

Nice.
I believe the first generations of Lexus had the holes, I know the SC did (not the ES though).

Haha. I just photoshopped it off my car. Not so bad, but then I did it..... I replaced the big L badge with the full word, Lexus, and removed every other badge as well....... Not going to do that with the real thing. Only experimental.
