Default debadge and remove wing

Is there any way i can debadge my car and remove my wing without having holes? Or is it usually expensive to have it done.

Thats retarted nothing on my car even resembles a cobra. I like the look, not to mention the cobra wing is noticeable.

If anything it would be trying to be a bullitt. Some cars can pull it off and some look like ****. IMO if you don't have meats on the back, don't even bother. You will have holes though, and you'd have to have a body shop fill them. Its not gonna be cheap, since they will probably have to repaint the entire panels after the body work to fill the holes in.

ok i never knew for sure if there would be holes, and yes I have some meat provieded by some nitto drs. I think it would look amazing and kind of a sleeper look. In no way am I trying to impersonate another car, just wanting to have a sleeker look.

From what I've read so far, debadging would require a warming up the badge with a heat gun or hairdrying and gently prying it off. I'd search first, though cuz there might be other ways of doing so. And I've also though about removing my wing and the whole deal with the left over bolt holes. My solution, and I haven't yet tried this, would be to buy machine screws with a domed flat heat or phillips head of a corresponding diameter. You could, of course, use any type of head, but domed would be a good choice. It's still noticeable but I think it'd sure look a hell of a lot better than holes. I'm still working on what to do about the alignment holes, though. That's a toughie.

The front fender GT badges have locating holes.

WTH??? That is the most funny thing I read today....

A little FYI because you don't know because you made the statement...

Cobras HAVE wings AND some have spoilers....

No offence and not to knock you, Just thought you should you know, because you from your responce, you don't.

The Ford oval on the rear deck has a hole also. When I bought my hood, I had all the emblems taken off and the holes filled. I was going to take the rear wing off but they said the holes were too big and they wouldn't warranty the holes on the deck lid.
