Default Removal NX200t Badge - Keeping Fsport On !

Did anyone remove the NX200t badge yet ?

I heard I can use a hair dryer to loosen up the adhesive , then use a fishing line to remove.

Would love to see pics if anyone has em!

Goo gone, a hair dryer, and floss it off. Then goo gone to remove remaining adhesive. Then Polish to a shine.

But why remove the name? It's obvious what it is...

I asked the dealer to remove the badge from my NX before the delivery, and told me that it would leave a hole.
It would be the first car I've seen with This badge mounting... But I believed him and did nothing.

Anyway, I did this operation in my previous car, and the result wasn't good. I left marks when brushing to remove remaining adhesive. I dont remember what kind of product I used.

They may be right, there may be a screw and a hole in the body. So removing it might not be a good idea afterall.

As for leaving marks, what did you use to remove the adhesive? You should have just used goo gone and a paper towel. Then polish to remove an residue to a shine.

I've debadged the IS and no holes.

If you look at the "NX 200t" moniker up close, each letter is individually glued with a "3M-like" adhesive backing. Also, if you apply some rotational pressure on each letter, you will feel it move slightly, which is the "play" from the adhesive backing.

Default Black out the badge with Plastidip

On my Accord I blacked out they Honda emblem and Accord emblem with plastidip. Very easy to use and you can easily take off with no damage to what you have spray painted. Obviously you will still see the NX emblem but it will blend in more. They do make all different colors of plastidip also. Go to YouTube and search plastidip and see what this stuff can do. When i have time I will take pic and post

that would be a deal killer for me, the dealer branding the car itself with their info like that. License plate frames are ok, but something like this is just wrong.

Agreed. That would be a deal breaker for me as well.
