Thanks.

What is it? It is MY original, very different than what they produced at the factory. We are not dealing with a 40+ year old restoration cars here. Adding badges and bling to your car makes you happy, while I am content to have as little as possible, keeping it understated, subtle and clean IMHO.

Next time I see that thing, it either better be perfectly polished between the letters or they better be gone LOL

The car is looking good, I'd hate to see this car turned turtle in a creek.

Thanks. I agree. The less bling the better. Is the process of removing that badge the same as the letters?

I think this is all personal preference. Funny you should mention restoring vehicles...when we restored my '67 Camaro we took a very no-badge approach, spending extra to have holes filled before paintwork was done. Again, I much prefer understated elegance to unnecessary badging.

Those who matter already know!

Yes, it is the exact same. I never used the heat gun, just left the car out in the sun for a few hours to warm the glue, some fishing line or no wax dental floss (doubled up a few times) and it will slide right off
