hey i have an 07' LS and on the door there is some trim, its not like most cars where there is an indent to allow for the trim, it appears to just be glued on, i removed my badges and was able to clean the area with meguire's scratch-x compound and you can't even see it now.
do you think this will work for the trim?
has anyone done this?

 

i did see a car where somebody did this... it looks nice.. they used a plastic knife and a heat gun.. it came off like a champ

 

this is exactly what i want to do.

 

Yeah, plenty of people have done this. It should come off just like the badges.

 

damn dont mean to jack the idea but i was thinkin about that too...im nervous as FCK to do it though...hey 07 lemme see a pic when ur finished lol, then maybe ill do it

 

most def, bro.
i think ill try it tonight, cant hurt cause i can always put it back on, and im pretty sure it should be fine, thanks for the input!

 

I like my door trim. But yes, it comes off easily. If you are worried, have a body shop do it. They should be able to remove it rather quickly and cleanly.

 

word, holla at me tonight if u do it, ill be on...good luck wit it

 

I took mine off 2 days after I got the car with some fishing line and some wax and grease remover, its held on with the same kind of double sided tape as the emblems.

 

Any Ideas if after two years on a Rally Yellow balt there might be a difference in Color?

 

That's what I was afraid of when I took my lettering off the back a few weeks ago after 1 1/2 years, but there was no discoloration. You should be good after Goo Gone and wax.

 

yo how that **** come out homie

 

I've done it on both of my Cobalts... my 05 LS and my 06 SS/SC! I used an old credit card to get it off, and then goo gone and a microfiber towel! Came off like a champ and no scratches either!

 

ha word? a credit card? thats hardcore lol i think i mite jsut do that **** today if the weather holds up...i swear to got it was like 60 not a cloud in the sky...then this big ass black cloud rolls through starts ****** hailing and now its nice again...i dont get it

 

Gotta' love this weather! I had 80 degree weather one day and then snow the next! How you like them apples!

Just when using the CC just make sure you don't scrape at it! I just pushed it under the badges and then they pop off! It leaves a lot of goo, but then the goo gone just put it on and let it sit on the adhesive for a bit, and then wipe it off and repeat untill gone! It tooke me about an hour for all of my badges on the SS/SC (except the door badges)

 

yeah i knwo exactly how to do it i took the badges off and the big ass bowtie on the back the same way

 

soory bro it rained like a bitch last night, i think i might wait til it warms up. mpst people say to do it with heat, so an 80deg day should be perfect.

same goes for you, if you do it let me know how it goes, and take some pics!

 

lol yeh i mite have to wait til it warms up to or at least getd a little nicer...i guess we gotta keep each other posted im shootin for this weekend

 

sounds good! except i think its supposed to rain a bit. ****** weather.
but i will def keep you posted!

 

oh **** ur from pa...im at WVU right now liek an hour from pitt so you prolly got the same ****-ass weather i got

 

west virginia university? i dunno what WVU stands for?
but yeah probably the same shitty weather

 

yeh west virginia U its an hour south of pitt

 

Yeah I did mine in the middle of summer when it was like 100 degrees... makes the adhesive come off a little better!

 

i would imagine so, i am definatley going to wait for nice warm weather.
kepp you posted!

 

to anyone who was interested in this, i completed it this weekend and will be posting a how to.
turned out great!
