I'm with SMT1004.
I too have artic white and debadged the rear lettering. Left it like that for about a year and then found it a bit plain and added the lettering back.
You may like it for a while...but don't be surprised if you find that you miss it. IJS

No adhesive foam, and would not lay flat..

Better to remove it..
I'll decide if I want to replace later on down the road....
For now, its the clean look..

Personnel preference I guess, but I think the logo adds to the overall good looks of the rear of the car!

If you do decide to put it back on, I'd suggest getting a small tube of GE Silicone 2. (clear or white) I've used it for many applications as a bonding agent & it works great. The bond is VERY strong, yet can be easily reversed using dental floss or fishing line to break it. You may have to use some masking tape to hold the letters in place till the bond sets.
Like you, I wouldn't use super glue, but wouldn't hesitate using the GE silicone 2. Just my $.02.

My buddy Arnie had the same thing happen to his AW Vert and it looks fine. I have no idea why it came off but it looks bare to me but I'd live with it. Just saying! Personally I like the lettering but that's just my opinion.....



WHITE LYTNG!

With five vehicles stuck around the house, and even with my dear bride being the good sport she is, I best not poke the bear anymore.
