I'd like to remove the "toyota" "celica" and "gt" emblems off the back, and just leave the middle 3-ring toyota emblem. from what I know (and I very well could be wrong) the middle emblem is the only on that would actually leave holes if removed, and the others are held on by some kind of double-sided tape? so how do I go about removing them?

I'd like to go for the shaved emblem look for my new hatch, but I want to practice with my old hatch right now so if I screw anything up it really doesn't matter.

alright thanks guys! I'm gonna go try this in a minute. but yeah, after I get my new hatch and fenders and put them on, I'm getting the car repainted, so if the paint is darker under the emblems it won't really matter.

btw, gold emblems won't match the color scheme I'm going for. but I'm not going to tell you the color scheme I'm gonna do yet, it's a surprise tongue.gif
