I personally like tha clean look, however u don't see alot of "SPORT" tags on balts, so maybe center that right above tha lock? I think either would look nice tho.....'specially on a white balt

The screwdriver was very carefully pushed between the letter and the tape.....NOT between the tape and the paint. I'm very careful and everything came off super easy once I got the corner of the letter up with the screwdriver. Just pulled it right off after that. I pushed it through further for purposes of the picture. I did the thread and showed and explained 3 or 4 different ways to remove the badges to specifically show how easy/difficult each was. Not a single scratch anywhere with any method.
Turtle Wax bug and tar remover works like a F'n gem to get the residue off!

I'm actually debadging the entire car, spray painting everything black and reapplying everything. I own a VR Cobalt and think that would lok pretty good. I've already done the front bowtie and think that it looks great! Any comments?

Goo Gone sucks... anyone think gas is a little too extreme to remove the residue? I've only taken off the driver side emblems and still have glue residue. Goo Gone did not remove it! What is the bar none absolute best thing to remove the glue? BTW, my car has had the emblems on since '05 and we live on a dirt road... put those together and you got some seriously dirty outlining in the car from where the emblems were. Anyone gotta suggestion for the dirt/stain removal? LoL.

If u use gas, use just a lil bit and make sure to wash it off asap or it could eat ur paint. I used Bug and Tar Remover with alot of elbow grease/friction......ALOT.

I've only read about 4 pages of this whole thread, but I've been wanting to paint my emblems, so I'll put a pic up when I actually do it. Hopefully taking the back bowtie off won't be as much trial and error as some of the other people had...

I used Bug and Tar remover as well and it worked quite well for me. I just used a heat gun on low to warm up the letters and Chevy badge...worked fine for me. The bug and tar remover made it come off easy. Didn't take much work.
