Removed UK badge

Since show & shine has been garbage as of late, I'd thought I should add to the garbage with garbage literally

The safest way to take the badge off is to use dental floss to "saw" it off. You can then use adhesive remover or bug and tar remover to get the sticky stuff off. Make sure you use a product that is safe for the paint. When it is off, you may have to use a liight polish to clean it up. There should be no fading on a car as new as an Evo.

Good luck!

The safest way is with a hair dryer and your hands! You don't need friggin chemicals and floss!

Congrats on taking it off...I feel it cluters the rear too much and attracts unwanetd attention.

My paint wasn't faded, but since your car is black & you live in florida, it may be.
