TAKE OFF THE CHROME NISSAN BADGE!!! Nothing else on the car is chrome and the trunk would look 10x cleaner, and black out the taillights…

I debadge every car I have. I think they look better without most of the time. Not to mention the lettering on my Talon was pink. Pink on purple had to go. (Original owner was female.)
Oh and props goes to Geoff on the windex thing. He was the one that told me of its wonderous powers of removing glue.

i ain’t too much of a VW fan, but if i had to get one, a GTI would be my first choice, especially your body style. new ones are nice but the styling is too edgy for my taste.

i work weekends dude, by the time i get home it’s already cold out because the sun’s low. summertime will obviously be easier, in the meantime i guess we all have to endure this awkward sunny/freezing/windy weather.

So if I tell you about a great way to drive from Buffalo to Rochester by going to Jamestown, across to Binghamton, up to Syracuse then over to Rochester is that cool too?
:tup: to the result.
:tup: to sharing.
:tdown: to DIY’s that do stuff the hard way.

i’m not looking to start online fist fights here. i didn’t use a heat gun, and yes, it was harder my way. if i had wanted the path of least resistance, then yes, of course, a heat gun would be a much, much better idea. my original idea was to go wash the car somewhere, and i had the random idea of wanting to strip it off. i stopped and picked up floss and such. no big deal.
