Well after all the sexy pix of the naked cobalts i have seen, i decided to do it myself. Unfortunatly after removing the center Chevy emblem and the sticker I had a blister pop up on my thumb from all the rubbin and a cramp in my hand. So here is the before and after, and hopefully I will have time to finish it later.
Before


After


For some reason when I look at the after pix, it looks like u can still see the outline of the Chevy emblem, but in person u dont see it... strange..... Anyone else see it?

Hey cover yourself!

 

"Anyone else see it?"

No, you must be one of those crazy people

 

Seriously dude... when I look at the pix i can see the chevy emblem... damn it.... i take it off and it still haunts me.... Im about ready to buff it down to the steel metal to try and get it to go away... lol.

I can faintly see the outline too

looks much better now though...

 

yeah i said it before i scrolled down to see the rest of the post...lol

 

Do u guys think that my paint faded or something? I mean its a 06, it doesnt seem possible it faded already.....

i can see the outline. You might want to try claying and using a cleaner wax to see if the outline still remains.

 

get some polishing compound and go over the area. it should dissapear.

 

It's because it has been covered up and you have waxed and washed the other, while under the bowtie, you haven't give it a little bit and a good couple waxes and washes, and it will slowly start to fade!

 

Already tried that. I removed all the stickem then washed it, then used some polishing compound, then washed then waxed. I finished the whole rear end, I just have to put some pix up.

i took that off before i got twenty miles on my car. that was way to big of a badge looks much better off

 

I didn't mind the badge, but I think it looks so much better without it. I'm glad I debadged.

 

Well I finished it up tonight, my dealers badage and the lettering only took 5 min to take off compared to that huge chevy badge. Anyways, I decided to leave "Balt" on the back for now just to see what u guys think. Also thought about changing the "a" to a "o" so it says "Bolt" or maybe doing something different. Maybe spread it across the back above the lock or something. What do u guys think? Just throw some ideas at me.

id say cobalt or nothing personally.....but thats just me.

 

Get someone to make you matching letters (same font as Cobalt) and spell out the name of your car instead.

 

hmm... what can i spell out of "cobalt ls'? Any ideas?

When did "nakie" become the standard term for debadging?

 

it looks good, but whenever i read the term "nakie", i'd better open up a thread started by a hot chick with pictures of herself naked in it

 

clay and wax. there will be residue of soaps/waxes you've used from the edges of the emblem where it previously covered. it'll take it right off

 

heres what you can spell with the words COBALT LS - LEAVE IT DEBADGED
