Consensus on Removing all Emblems Prior to XPEL Ultimate - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I had a full front clip install of XPEL Ultimate (pre cut) which kept the emblems on etc... and have had no troubles so far. It's been a few months and even in some rough weather it still looks near invisible (no dark edges etc..)

I have full Xpel stealth wrap... the emblems will not stick to it afterwards - so for any stick on emblems you either de-badge and remove forever, or you leave them and deal with the cut around.

Awesome, I get my car back today. I got the full wrap as well. Are you sure they won't stay with double sided sticky tape?

Xpel had my car for a few weeks while I was on a business trip. They said the emblems kept falling off the film and asked if I wanted to leave them off or for them to get something more aggressively sticky. I left them off and don't regret it.

we always remove then re-apply emblems on top of the xpel film. its never been an issue. my own car has the bumper emblem on top of xpel

What's the ballpark figure for a decent installer to do a full wrap?
