Maybe eventually I'll give in and get the JDM steering wheel in red trim but not likely.

See pic above.

You mean the bumper appliqué right? Just start peeling it off at the edge and pull hard lol. Seriously. It just peels off don't need Goo gone.

No. Look closely at the whole thing. It's a strip of clear bra with the letter printed on it. Find the edge of it and peel from there.

Pretty sure it can be done considering both cars are practically identical.

Nice! Good work!

So i followed the flossing technique... I did not use a blow dryer.. I was afraid if i heat it up a bit i might chip the paint specially in the front badge..

Tools used:

1. Applied goo gone around badges..

2. Flossed badges in a sawing motion while pulling towards me

3. Quick waxed after all goos are gone!

(notice the reflection and tell me what you see!)

Debadged the FRS and the Tundra yesterday.. my fingers are sore from rolling up all that adhesive haha.

Method that worked for me was:
-Heat up the emblem slightly with a heat gun or hair dryer
-use some fishing line (and gloves) and using a saw motion back and forth, cut the adhesive behind the emblem.
-Use your fingers to roll/peel the left over glue
-Use some Goo-Gone to remove any left over glue
-Use some spay polish to make the area nice and clean

Now I just have to order some Toyota emblems..

KRAZYK · 08-02-2012, 09:51 AM

Anyone know where to get these emblems?

I looked for Carson Toyota on the search but his threads show up as inactive.. maybe he got banned?
