Has anyone tried to remove the rear badging?

I would like to remove the "Carerra" and just keep the "911S".

I guess I would have to get new letters for the 911S as the adhesive would probably not work upon reapplication.

 

I have never tried it, but assume you would need a heat gun to do it.

 

Fishing line. it will separate the car from the adhesive on the lettering.

 

It's very easy - just warm the letters using a heat gun or hair dryer then slice the letters off using fishing line or dental floss. Clean the sticky residue off with Goo Gone or a similar product and you're done!

 

Check out the 997 forum -- this topic has been covered extensively there. In summary, heat gun/hair dryer, then dental floss, then re-application with 3M emblem adhesive.

 

Be very cautious with the heat gun - it can damage the paint.

 

Agreed and this is why I think a hairdryer is safer.

 

Even with a hair dryer, you want to be careful. The clear coat can be damaged when the temperature reaches around 150F, causing a dull spot.

 

Dealer will do it. I took it all off except the Porsche word. Still might remove that as well. Looks better. Cleaner. Minimalism is good. A hair drier and not dental floss work, too.

 

Goo gone and dental floss with some elbow grease. Done it on many of my cars

 

150? Isn't the paint hotter in Summer Heat in Arizona directly on the metal?

 

It is above 150 in the AZ, NV, etc
