i havent personally done this but i hear the easiest way is take a piece of fishing line and slide it behind the emblem to peel it off. Then use goo gone to get the residue off. When finished with that wax it to get the shine back

Do a search on it... most people use fishing line and goo be gone... then some polish and wax. But I like my badges, so I am keeping them

heat gun, plastic scraper, castrol degreaser, wax. that works great. you will love the debadged look, so much more sleak in my opinion.

Heres mine debaged. I used a blow dryer, fishing line, plastictic scraper, some kind of super orange cleaner, and a lot of elbow grease. I love the clean look.

Good Luck

debatching looks slick! i wanna do it, but i dont. you know? lol. my trucks needs to be modded on the outside some more for me to do it. if i got a good looking lift, i'd do it.

leave your truck in the sun for a while and use fishing line slowly move up and down...i used K1 to get the big chunks off the paint and then a lil goo gone for the real sticky stuff....i just did my tailgate and moved the DODGE emblem to the side of my hood looks sweet...im going to move the door emblems to the bottom of my door soon...check out my photo album and see how it looks
