Hey guys when you shaved your emblems off your car, did you notice any paint peals? or anything like that? i am thinkin about doing that to mine but my dad says not cause it will make some of the paint that was around that come off after the removal of them. i am def. gettin a glow in the dark "H" emblem! those are sweet!

No, no paint peels or anything. The emblems are just held on with double sided tape. Takes all of 5 minutes to pull them off, and clean off the sticky residue by rubbing your finger on it. Worse that will happen is you get a blister on your finger.

im not being a smartass, but "shaved" isnt quite the term that should be used...no paint work or other hard work is needed, ya know like bondo and stuff ...when i took off my embelms i used a blow dryer and no paint came off...its real easy, its also in the DIY section...also to get off the sticky tape like stuff u may wanna use some gasoline then rewash it and polish over it...trust me it looks alot better...clean look

Yeah, no paint defects. The annoying this is trying to get the glue off. After you do it, the car looks much cleaner.

Lighter fluid works good for getting the glue off.
