Avoid excessive heat from a heat gun.

It will overheat the clear coat and pull it up many times with the badge.

Then you're dealing with a whole bumper repaint.

 

I always debadge my cars. A LITTLE heat with a hair dryer and then use light fishing leader or dental floss. Fishing leader works better.

 

I Concours my cars an am always able to get the areas around the emblems cleaned. It just takes a little time and effort and the right cleaning supplies. Check out the Groit's catalog for products.

 

It was easy to remove the letters and numbers. Just used a blow dryer for a little heat and then used dental floss to remove them. I then I used a little detail spray and clay bar. Then polished and waxed. Then installed the new letters.

I am very happy with the look. Stands out way better than the chrome.

 

Looks great. Nice job! I like the way it looks.

Just line up the yearly renewal sticker on your plate now A big pet peeve of mine. Especially when people don't even put them over the old one!

 

Thanks!

Yea, the stupid dealership put the sticker on before we bought it

 

I debadged, and put on on a custom painted one instead. Wasn't chrome crazy either.

 

Geez! Such an old post. I forgot I previously posted!

 

Looks sharp. Yep, chrome did not show up well on the GT Silver.

 

Thanks. GT Silver here too. Any more pics of your car?

 

Here is another pic. I will post more later today.

 

Are those 997s emblems? Looks really good.

 

Yes they are, good call.

Got them from Sun Coast. They are pricey but I like them.

 

I have the part numbers for the black 911 Carrera 4 GTS emblem (4 parts total). Will post shortly for those wanting OEM 991 part number emblems.
