"Civic" trunk DeBadge... too easy

K757 · 10-18-2006, 02:32 AM

It was 83 degrees or so tonight and it was time to clean up the stickers (radio is protected, ULEV, etc.) from my silver Civic. While out there, I decided to remove the "Civic" from the trunk. I just pulled lightly with a fingernail and the "C" pried right up, I slowly pulled up from the bottom and the badge just came right off. Estimated time to remove: 5 seconds. Heck, it didn't even leave ANY sticker residue. I ran my finger over where it was... nothing.

When I had my Chevy Tracker Convertible (traded in on my Civic), the "Tracker" on the doors was seemingly stuck with glue. Severely irritated me. But the Civic was really easy, too easy now that I am thinking about it. Like they knew I didn't want it there.

be sure to check at different angles in the light because it could leave the cloudy "civic" behind. you can buff it out, though. just a tip!

You are lucky man...My Civic emblem broke into three pieces and left quite a bit of residue. It took me about 30 minutes to get rid of it.

Eep. the 80 degrees F must've helped you luck mofo. It's only 2 degrees C this morning (36 degrees F) so that's not possible for us Northern Peepswtf.

DANG! that's just wrong. It is going to be 91 F here today. (warmer than average for now)

Debadging was one of the first things I did to my car. Just used a credit card and it came off easily.

I just used a hair dryer and a piece of dental floss. It worked great..
