Sup Club?!

Does anyone know how I can remove the "GS300" Emblem in the back (on the trunk)? Also, will there be a hole where the emblem used to be? I just want to remove it, and maybe the "Lexus" emblem, for a cleaner, more "mysterious" look.

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

I am hopeing the answer is as easy as, "Grab and razor and slice it off, be carefull not to scratch your paint). "

The answer is even easier than that. "Try the search button and find MANY threads on how to do it". I'll find a thread or two for you here in a minute.

EDIT - here's just a small start. I searched for 'debadge' and 'how to debadge'

Thanks Dave - I did a search for "Emblems" and found too many pages to browse, I gave up after 4 pages.

THANK YOU _ I'm on my way to the garage with my wife hairdryer and some dental floss!! I'll let you know how it turned out.

Thanks again!!!

 

All Done!!! It took about an hour but it worked flawlessly. It looks so clean now.

Thanx, Darius2004

 

1 hour? I spent 5 hours doing mine! Getting the emblems off were easy, but the adhesive left behind was torture! I didn't heat it up so maybe that was my problem.

 

PhantomZX: I have this Pink Lotion Wax I got from the LA Car a few years ago and it just melts through Tree Sap, Gum, Stickers, etc. It took 5 minutes to melt the adhesive enough to remove the emblems, the other 55 minutes was adhesive removal.

Theres a little discoloration where the emblems used to be but I am guessing that will fade away with time.

Anyone else with discoloration. The car is a '98.

 

did u take all the emblems off or just the "lexus" and "gs300"?

 

I took all the emblems off the trunk and replaced with black pearl.

I didn't see any discoloration after washing and polishing the areas. In fact, I didn't have any reference point for putting the new stickers back on, so I just went by eye. I thought it turned out well, but I have nothing to compare it against.

 

hmm.. perhaps the compound you used caused a little discoloration...

 

i used goo gone to get rid of the adheasive...that really helps. A nice coat of wax at the end will finish the job.

 

I started with dental floss but I think because of the age of the adhesive, it has pretty much turned my Aristo emblem into cement and I keep on breaking the fragile dental floss. I ended up taking some ravia (nylon) rope, sliced it into thinner strips and use it to cut the emblems loose. After that I was using some foamy chemical normally used for tree sap and bugs and wiped the extra gooey adhesive clean. An extra dollop of wax and the car becomes spotless.

 

BlueLex: I just removed the "Lexus" and "GS300" emblems. IMO it looks much cleaner/smoother now. I was just out and when I came back to the car I looked at it thinking, "Yeah...much cleaner now!"

JTanoyo1 : I broke that stupid dental floss SO many times!!! And it got so d*mn tight that I thought I was gonna lose a finger!! Buit whenever the glue would get hard, I would just heat it up again with a hairdryer.

Has anyone removed all three emblems? Doesn't it look a little plain?

 

too plain imo, i stil have alllll my emblems on, but im thinking of taking off the lexus and the GS400 part myself. we'll see.....

 

Fishing line.
