Really? If so then that's too crazy. 680 is probably the worst I've driven on so far. So many bumps and then some stretches seem to have uneven pavement where it made my car almost feel like it was swaying at times.

Yeah, 80 and 880 have everything, big and/or deep pot holes, steps, bumps, other deformities, on top of a lot of debris.

Anyone around San Jose or within somewhat reasonable driving distance who could help me de-badge my rear OEM Subaru/BRZ badges and install some replica HyperBlue matte black ones?

I think I need a heat gun, which I don't have, and my hands are quite shake-y from tremors so I don't trust myself to do a good job even if I do get a hairdryer or heat gun.

Otherwise, any recommendations on a cheap-ish bodyshop around that might be willing to do it would be cool too.

goo gone, hair dryer, dental floss?

You don't need a heat gun. Just fishing line/dental floss along with something to get off the residue and a bit of patience. Hair dryer also helps but I've done it before without one.

Oh okay, didn't realize it doesn't require a hair dryer- I don't have one anyway haha.

That definitely seems more reasonable. I guess I'm only worried about putting it on cleanly.

While you don't really need one, Harbor Freight has one for ~$14. Also serves as a flameless creme brulee torch and removes spiders from mailboxes.

use a painter's tape around the old badge before you remove it so you have a guideline to put the new one back on if you want it where it was originally.. Just helping..

Put the car under the sun for a little then use the suggested tools above.. What I did when I debadge mine.
