Default Removing Emblems....

Whats the best way to do this? The best way i've heard so far is with a hairdryer and dental floss. Anyone got better ideas?

hmm a lot of emblems are fastened to the car so if you remove them, there's going to be a hole left. are you sure yours is not physically hooked to the car? or are you trying to remove a sticker?

a lot of emblems have grommets that hold the actual emblem on, which will leave holes.

Well actually you guys might be right. You see I'm putting in some side markers in a stock hole that is already behind that emblem. So it may be hooked in. I'd have to take off the wheel well lining and take a look.

yeah..if you have an emblem like, say, a bmw badge, or a honda badge...that type of emblem, then youd most likely have 2 or more grommets holding them on. get up in there and check it out.

dental floss, hold a hair dryer on it for 1 min, rub dental floss back in forth in a sawing motion, then goo gone whats left of it on the car, and wax

Aight I just found out the emblem hooks in. I still have to take the lining out though.

once you take the lining out, take a small flathead and pop the grommets off and youre on your way.
