Default Soarer Badge Question

so i ordered a griffin badge and noticed the pegs don't line up with the existing holes. How do you guys have the mounted? Did you drill new holes or cut off the pegs? If you did cut em off, how so? And any house remedies for taking off this glue? Its sure is a pain

You'll want to drill new holes. More secure than just cutting off the pegs and depending on glue.
3m adhesive remover diluted with water and a lot of elbow grease should remove the glue.

Thanks! What size bit did you use? I also noticed that lighter fluid works well too.

You don't need the pegs on any badge; use a pair of wire cutters to cut them off and use a blade to level the surface down flush. Many badges from factory on tons of cars are applied using double sided adhesive. You'd want the thinnest adhesive tape, Wurth has it and probably 3M.

Agree, don't drill any more holes in your bumper and just use double sided tape.

I didn't do it, had a shop do it. I'm not a fan of doing my own body work.

I've also cut the pegs. Be sure to mount the emblem slightly angled so the griffin is standing on its hind legs.
