I installed the AVS Tail Light covers for my Coupe, but I want to remove the white AVS Lettering. Any ideas? I could probably scrape it with a razor, but I don't want to scratch the lenses.

 

Could always paint them

 

fine sandpaper work probably work

 

Don't want to paint them, I like the smoked look. It's a good contrast

I thought of that, but like I said, I don't want to scratch. I am in a bowling shop all the time so getting my hands on 2000 and 4000 grit abralon is a piece of cake, but if i can remove it witout doing that I would like to.

 

can u get some pics up of them???? are these the half cover ones? ive been thinkin about gettin myself a set of these.

 

This isn't my car, but I have the sunburst orange as well so it would look the same:

 

yea im pretty sure im gunna get these. its the only legal way to personalize ur taillights without buying new ones.

 

Yea I love em....


None of you know how to get that lettering off?

 

I think its stamped on there so without sanding you probably wont get it off. Could always sand and then use some nightshades and keep the smoked look

 

Well... they arent coming off. I used silicone to attach them. they are labeled as left and right, but the AVS label was printed upside down.

I tried fitting them so the label would be right side up.... but they didn't fit right (ie. wouldn't sit flush against the light) So now I need to get that white off.

 

How about an eraser wheel?

 

elaborate... what is this new fangled technology you speak of?

 

hard to explain I will go take a picture of it.

 

i think i know wat u talking about, its like a rubber wheel, and its got like a pin in the back and you slid that into a drill, and then you turn the drill and then the rubber is the eraser, i have one at my job, but that might burn the plastic

 

I'm interested in seeing this "eraser wheel"...

 

Yes thats exactly what it is. But I think if he took it slow it wouldnt burn it. Thats what I used to get the glue from my rear chevy emblem off. I love that thing. Still trying to get pics of it damn camera wont load em

Ok here ya go

 

hmmmm interesting...

 

If I were you I'd just get some black paint and a small paint brush and paint over it. Sure you may still see it close up but from 5 feet back you won't be able to.

 

I was gonna ask are they raised letters or just painted?

 

They should be indented a tiny bit if I remember correctly.

 

well than if he either rubs them or paints them it will still be visable.

 

no, i believe they are just printed oncuz they have a little texture to them... but nothing more than the ink

 

I found an interesting article on removing branding on cell phones with sugar, never tried it but it may help???
