Consensus on Removing all Emblems Prior to XPEL Ultimate
What is the consensus on removing all the badges prior to having my car wrapped with XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film? I plan to install the Toyota Ts, GT86 and Toyota emblem. I assume it would look better having the logos placed on top of the PPF instead of having it cut around, especially since they will be different sizes since I will be changing them to match the GT86. My question is, will this be fine as I believe some of the emblems have holes in the frame.

Thats what I would do, it's also what I've done on all the cars ive wrapped. its less exposed edges of film to potentially lift.

I would remove all the emblems. I believe even vinyl wrapping the car they remove the emblems.

Chad, why do you need protection if you're not going to drive the car? Kind of sounds like a waste of money if you're just going to keep it in storage 8-10 months of the year.

I'd just spray the whole car with plasti-dip. Then 50 years down the road peel it off and BAM, fresh paint.
