i think so too. you can always take it off, put on new adhesive, and put them on again

 

Remove and slap them on again....just be careful not to crack the emblem. Go to an auto shop and ask for emblem adhesive.

use fishing line to 'cut' the adhesive between the emblem and the car

3M emblem adhesive tape is available at ANY Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc....

 

you are going to need to correct that I think. Not a big deal to do.

 

when u removed the embleem, get some embleem remover, and get some ( scratch-out) you can find it at auto zone

 

you can remove the emblem with fishing line or dental floss.. make sure you get it under the double sided tape.. then go to a body shop or a schucks or something to see if they have double sided tape. cut to fit emblem with exactoknife or something.

 

Be careful with the emblem adhesive - when it gets really hot it can melt and it turns orange. Trust me

man, i'm rebadging my car soon too...i hope that doesn't happen here. it doesn't look TOO bad, but def. noticable. If it were me, i'd take these guys advice and redo it. ...don't feel bad though, I rushed my wood trim when i did it in 110 degree heat and did that all crooked too...anyone have suggestions on fixing the wood trim? sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread...

 

LOL. No problem. I'm gonna redo it probably tomorrow, burned my fingertips taking off the gold emblems so i gotta heal a little bit

 

thats absolutely HORRIBLE you HAVE to remove it and redo it.. why'd you rush in the first place thats just lexus abuse.

 

yep - what everyone else said lol.. good luck with fix and post pics when you're done!

 

it looks off enough to need repositioning. For those that are planning on removing emblems and putting on different emblems, once you remove the original emblem, take some blue painters tape and mask around the area where the emblems were. Do this before cleaning and it will be easy to see exactly where they were. Then clean the area and reapply the emblems. Easiest way I could come up with when I did my black pearl emblems

 

Ok how about this now? I put the emblems on last sunday and went to reposition it today. Put the dryer to it and it pops right off Sweet!! Now it is repositioned. Have a look and tell me if i'm not cockeyed and its crooked.

Its still crooked. It goes uphill to the right.
