Hey everyone.. new the the site.. jsut came across it this weekend. I've got a '96 Celica ST 25th Anniversary and just ordered the parts to do the cold air intake project. Woo hoo!
Anyway, I've been thinking about debadging my car but wondering if it's a bad idea to debadge a 8 year old car now? |

I did it on my 97. I used a heatgun, and the emblems came off easy. The glue was another story. i have a bunch of chemicals(mek,goo-off,etc) here. I used them all.
After I did it, I could see the emblems through the paint. A buffer and some rubbing compound took care of that problem. I left the toyota emblem in the middle. Looks much cleaner. |
