Lightbulb removing the ford emblem?

I really hate the ford emblem on the back of our cars. I know it's held on with two prongs as well. Does anyone have any pictures of the holes left behind and what they have replaced it with? Any advice on how to get it off cleanly? Thanks

Are there holes where the gt emblem came off? If not does the paint look different or faded with nothing there?

why not just do it right? it cost me $300 to have the holes filled for the badges, spoiler, and the keyhole

ignore the wave in my rear bumper...idk whats up with it, need to work on that once the car is running again

yeah I would really like to see what the holes look like and any idea on how to get it off without screwing up the back end of my car?

How are the dealership emblems stuck onto our cars? I have a dealership sticker/emblem on my trunk and I want to take it off and when I try to take it off it is pretty stuck on and I don't want to take paint off with it.

hair dryer
3m sticker remover
fishing line (if youre real pro, you can take a flat head screw driver and put a piece of electrical tape around the tip to protect the paint and lightly peel up the corner to get it off...i dont advise this unless you know what youre doing)


assuming its a hard plastic piece like a badge...


if its just a sticker, 3m sticker remover, hair dryer, and a microfiber cloth if its just too stuck

i just peeled mine off with my fingernail

no badge or sticker will ever remove paint
