badges

when you remove the LS badges do they leave a mark?

fknlo · 04-08-2004, 12:42 AM

mine didn't, but the condition of your paint could be a factor

I removed all my Xtreme badges but just left the LS badges alone because it seemed like they would cause more of a problem the way they are softer that the others. If you get more feedback on whether its safe to do or not, I may just pull those off as well.

I pulled mine off a couple weeks ago. I just pried them off with my fingernails and used goo-gone to take care of any stickey shit. No marks and looks perfect :thumbup:

Gonna do the xtreme and chevy badges next

I pulled off the chevrolet on the tailgate and had a little sticky glue, but got off no problem. The LS was easy just stuck some floss behind it and peeled it off didnt leave anything. I think it looks a lot better.

the ls came off a lot easier than my other badges did

Make sure you use a heat gun or let the truck sit in the sun on a nice hot day, used my nails to pry everything off. Soaked any left over glue/tape with Goo Gone and rubbed it off in circular motions with my fingers.

3m adhesive remover works well too

I just double-wrapped a piece of floss and spun it so it made one thick piece. Then I used that to 'saw' through the double-sided tape and used goo-gone to remove what was left over.
