Can someone help me out and tell me how to remove the front and rear emblems please. Thanks

 

I debagded mine by doing the following:

Slide dental floss under the badge and work it through and under as best as possible until you can pull the badge up. (there will be two holes underneath that may look ugly to you)

Heat the residual glue residue with a hair dryer for a few minutes and it should come off pretty easily (if not, get some Goo Gone).

 

thanks, i will try that.

 

what did you do with the holes?

 

i tried the floss on the rear emblem and it doeset work. What about the front emblem, how do you get that one off?

 

I also tried the dental floss trick and couldn't get it to work either. I put a couple of strips of masking tape on top of each other to the side of the emblem to protect the paint and I gently used a small bladed screw driver with one hand, and a hair drier with the other one. Once it start to come off, grab it and pull while still applying heat On the rear emblem I masked around the emblem to make sure it went back in the same place (even though the new emblem is a little bigger).

 

Dental floss and a hairdryer should do it, fishing lin works good too. Not as gentle as floss, but stronger. Getting it hot with the hairdryer is a must.

 

How do you get the floss under the front bumper? Its molded into the bumper. Does the rear embles have holes under it (2003 touring)?

 

there is a little space between the emblem and the bumper. so the floss will fit. but i just used a screw driver and pryed it off. (i didn't care about the scratches as i shaved the emblem anyways)
and i believe all z's have the holes underneath the rear emblem except for roadsters. good luck.

 

who sells that goo off stuff?

 

Pretty sure I saw some at Lowe's. Sounds like you are having fun.

Try a pair of pliers and a blow torch, that should do it...

 

Definitely don't blow torch it!

Yes, the holes suck. I haven't had them filled as I don't feel like getting them filled and having the whole body panel painted.

 

I want to take off the emblem, not the bumper!
