I found this site http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=213824 (its down right now) and I saw that you can buy emblems, nameplates and pretty much any other replacent OEM part fairly cheap. Looks legit, but you never know. Anyway I was just curious if anyone knows the easiest/safest way to remove the old nameplates? Also, if anyone knows anything about that site, any input would be great. Thanks!

 

Hair dryer and dental floss for those stuck on with double sided foam tape.

 

^^^^ agreed 100%. Use 3M adhesive remover to clean up the goo.

 

True the hair dryer works great I use WD-40 to get the glue off. I

 

I took the SLT Dakota emblems off the doors because the chrome backing was discoloring.
Priced them out at 39 dollars a side! NOPE! Left them off and buffed out the doors due to the fact
the clear was slightly dis colored and, you could see where they once were even after I waxed them. I think it gives the truck a cleaner look
without them anyways. But yeah, a Hair-Dryer and they pulled right off for me/ W-D40 for the glue. I think the Dental-Floss is even a better idea with the Hair-Dryer in it probably would help in removing more of the backing & glue in one shot.

 

Bah.

Just use a knife.

Hehe... j/k

 

Hmmm a knife. I'm going to try that one. I'll let you know how it goes. I was actaully thinking of just using a belt sander and grinding them off. lol

Thanks for the input guys. Any word on that site I posted?

 

input on the link? It doesn't work for me. I get server errors.

 

Have you tried it again recently? I had the same problem when I first posted, but it works fine now.

 

Dont need the input on the site now anyway. I broke down and ordered some nameplates from them. I'll let you all know how it goes.
