> [@Zong](#): > > How did you do it?

Heated up the the SUBARU lettering with a hair dryer, took like 1 min per letter. 2. Used dental floss to get behind the lettering and pull it off. Now with all the letters off, there was still all of the adhesive left over. 3. I sprayed the adhesive with bug/tar remover, some people used wd-40 or goo-gone, and let it soak/sit for 5-10 mins. 4. Wipe off all of the bug/tar remover, then take the hair dryer again and heat up the adhesive until its soft/sticky. Then rub off the adhesive, I found it to come off best with my thumb actually lol. All of the adhesive didn’t come off the first try, it took me 3 times of applying the bug/tar remover and letting it soak for everything to come off. Thats it. ---

turtle wax bug and tar remover is awesome! i used it to get tree sap off my car. i have a Primera (rebadged G20), and the infiniti badge and g20 are still slightly visable, maybe ill try letting it soak. i think it looks clean, and yeah makes it a lot easier to buff. good job! ---

Can’t see the pics now, but debadging is cool in my book. Badges just catch dirt and then one day you are drying your car and the towel catches the corner of a letter and rips it off. Its easier to just take off right from the get go. P.S. Goo Gone works great for debadging. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/debadged-the-sti/15929.md?page=2)
