Default Need some help please !!!

Hey guys and gals,

I have an 09' Z, someone before me bought a OEM Z-06 badge and stuck it on the rear bumper area, just below the passenger side brake lights. I want to remove it safely without tearing anything up.

How can I do this safely?

thank you very much....

No problem. Just use some fishing line or dental floss and slide it back and forth behind the badge to release the gluetape from the body of the car. If there is any left behind on your paint finish, just wipe with paint thinner or goof off or even WD40. Should come right off.

Be sure to buy un-waxed floss or it will not cut through the adhesive.

Heat it up with your wife's hair blow dryer and it will peel right off.
