debadging...maybe

jlewwwf · 01-30-2008, 05:55 PM

So if the weather permits on sat i plan on debadging my sxt. i've kinda skimmed through the threads but not found a definate answer. So does anyone have any advice or suggestions before i start, pretty much once i start i have to finish or risk looking tacky. i've heard stories about the bubbly paint but thought it was only on 05's. I have an 06 SXT. let me know good or bad. I plan on taking off everything including the side moldings.

thanks

josh

Hey jl, you will find some postings on debadging your ride along with other posts with molding removal. TAKE YOUR TIME and don't rush....... I've heard a bunch of stories where everyone is in a hurry and it comes out either bubbled or sloppy! If you have a blow dryer i would heat it up first, some have used fishing line to cut past the 3m tape. That works, there are other means as well. Good luck!!

Why take off everything anyway?

Some people just like the looks of the car with the badges off, it kinda gives it a shaved look

I also have an 06 but i don't think the year is the issue i also have a friend with an 05 and his came out good lookin. The biggest tip i can give you is don't heat the part you are removing carefully heat the body around it. The warm metal releases the glue and softens the tape and like he said
TAKE YOUR TIME
After i took my molding off i almost ripped the skin off my fingers tryin to remove the leftover tape. Then i picked up a plastic spoon someting soft that wouldn't damage the paint but hard enough to stay firm. Thanks to this i still have skin on my fingers now.

i just remember reading (might of been on lx) that people had trouble with the bubbles on some cars, and they seemed to be 05's. I'll give it a try with the heat and the string. hope all works. TY

the bubbles ave only been on 05's, but some 05's got lucky, when i peeled my sides, i just sprayed adhesive remover and grabbed on and started pulling back, then sprayed a bunch more on and let her soak a min b4 trying to remove the goo leftover

The badges on the tailgate will not have paint bubbling. just make sure its warm youll have no prob.

I have an 06 SXT as-well and didn't have any issues.
Just buy some double sided tape and if you run into problems re stick them.
