Bare Ass 101, It was close to 100 today in Massachusetts, just south of Boston. The car had been baking away all day in the sun. I read this thread and thought...What the hell. The dealer's name, Toyota, and Yaris came off like they were held on with bubble gum. No dental floss, no fishing line, just my fingers and patience. Took a little Goof-Off on a rag and it took the residue off the paint. There wasn't even any tape on the car. Nice.

Now my Gateway Laptop shows it is a Toyota product and I have a Yaris model side-by-side refrigerator w/ice maker. The dealers name never made it into the house. It's probably stuck to someone's tire, It ended up in the street.


Does the 'yota emblem stick the same way or is it pinned through the sheet metal? Would look good painted the same color as the car. Meteorite Metallic.

Till next time,

Chuck

HOLY SHIT! I see a ghost in the second one from the bottom! LOL! Nice wax job!

I'm thinking of debadging my S sedan of everything but the S. But it's kind of a point of no return thing. Now that I have seen another sedan it looks good.

Got rid of my "Stinking Badges" yesterday. Used 6 lb test line with no problems. Everything turned out perfect.

I warmed them up with a hairdryer and used fishing line. Used my finger nail and the hair dryer to take the extra adhesive off and then some WD-40 and a paper towel for the last little bit.
definately the paper towel that did it man..never use paper towel on your car!!! Im about to remove the badges from my 2007 RS black...then I'll add pics to the colour thread...Just got mine 5 days ago...thanks for the info!!!

Took mine off over the weekend. Just parked the car facing the sun and slowly yanked the badges off. No line needed and no glue residue to remove.

That was easy. Took longer to find an extension cord for a hair dryer than it did to get those puppies off. Looks much nicer, I think.
