Removing chrome letters. Love the clean look. Most likely will remove the rear badge.

That's a demod as opposed to a mod. You've simply gone back stock.

Blow drier and my fingers. then a little goo gone to remove any residue. I think wax compound or a clay bar could substitute for the goo gone.

Interesting. This is the first time I've seen this done. It looks incomplete and half-finished IMO without the letters.

That's more than a demod...the lights are gone too! What's that called??

So many people put the inserts in, it's easy to forget what it looks like without them. I actually like it either way.

I prefer the letter inserts myself, but either way, the car looks good.
