is it possible to take the gold plating off of my stock emblems? if so, are they chrome underneath or will they be flat black or something? i have some watch polish that has been known to strip gold plating without a problem...was wondering if this would be a good way about doing it as I read that it has been done to gold exhausts on our cars.

kyle, I am not 100% sure what they are underneath the gold, but i do remember that when my gold emblems were fading (badly), they were not pretty underneath. The color was more of a silver but w/ a gold tint to it. I would just tell you to either debadge ur SC, or go out and buy some chrome or black pearl emblems (depends on the color of ur SC). I know that when i replaced my gold ones w/ the chrome ones (i have a pearl white SC), the appearance of my car was amazing. That possible could be one of the best mods you could ever do to your car.

I will be easier to remove and/or replace your emblems.

My gold emblems in the back are starting to fade a bit too and under it its pretty muich silver with a hint of gold. I guess if you really want to replace them u can try that cleaner and try to strip the gold and see if it works out otherwise I was quoted $16 for a crome L emblem and I'm assuming the other 2 wont be too much more. So for like $64 you can probably replace all your eblems with crome ones from BMA.

BMA?

Mine faded and i got them taken oFF and put chrome on. The car lOOks much beTTer it makse a big diFFerence. Also put chrome tips on the pipes
