Default Debadged the trunk lid!

The 50th emblem was starting to wear down to the black on the corners so I decided to take it off.... turned out pretty good. BTW, if you havent tried Meguires ScratchX you need to (~$8 at Advanced Auto)! Works pretty well!!

took mine off 4 years ago and haven missed it. As for finger prints on the trunk deck, I don't go in the trunk very often so it's no issue

Wow, that actually looks really darn good. Btw, I hate you, red cars always look more polished than other cars, your paint look awesome!! I am not sure if I want to take the emblem off though, since I have the Commemorative Ed.

While I like the emblem on the car, your's looks very good without it on the trunk.

Yours looks great, but I like being able to use it to close the trunk.

That looks pretty good!!! If I did it I would have to do the front at the same time. I think I might do the BSM's too!!! Got to love the clean look!!!

The front has two peg holes in the bumper for the emblem placement. It's almost as easy as peal and stick a new one on but unfortunately the old emblem will leave a lot of residue and it takes forever to get it off. Lots of Goo Gone and elbow grease. At some point I'll do the BSM's.
