I say leave all the badges off, and just stick with the inserts in CAMARO. I like the smooth look. You should try and do the side moldings as well if your bored!


One of these days I'll give it a real buff job and try and get it as flawless as possible!

i was thinking about taking those off their starting to fade any way, how did you take them off. i dont think the heat gun and dental floss will work so well on those.

I used a heat gun on the lowest settings,an old card (like a credit card or library card) and alot of soap & water.

First I cleaned up the area with soap & water, I made sure there was no dirt and it was smooth. I dried it off with a towel, and then I started with a heat gun working my way from front to back. I didn't keep the heat gun on an area for more then a minute, and I slowly pulled back on the molding making sure I was getting everything off at the same time. If you do it right, the heat will make the glue rise cleanly if you are gentle and slow with it. Then after I got it all off I washed the area again. I was told to wax it too, so I did the entire car when I was done.
