Has anyone tried this? Pics if you have?

Are the wing emblems just double sided tape or is there a hole left when they are removed?

the front bumper cross flag emblem has two holes but the back one is just taped on.

I personally wouldn't take them off but its your call...

I actually would have been more curious to see what the front looks like vs. the back. Oh well.

I removed the back one. It is a dirt catcher. Just take a length of dental floss and slide under emblem and pull. Don't go back and forth like you are flossing, it will just break the floss. After removing the emblem there will be a lot of sticky stuff. Any adhesive remover will work. I think there is a special automotive one for this purpose. After all that is cleaned up, I used swirl remover and glaze to work out the scratches that resulted from all the other action. Sitting in the sun will let the color under there fade out to match the rest of the deck. I like the look . Looks cleaner back there. Sorry, no pics.

Mine are off, or I did not put them back on.

I did put a 12" cross flag decal on the nose and covered up the holes.

Sorry dont have a close up pics.

I also did not put the flags back on the hatch. That one is just stick tape on back.
