Question Replacing 'Fit' Chrome emblem with 'Jazz'?

Hi FitFreaks!

I bought a Jazz chrome emblem on Ebay yesterday, has anyone else replaced their Fit emblem with a Jazz one? I got the one with the red dot over the J.

Anyone know, are they bolted on or just applied with adhesive? Trying to figure out the best way to remove the existing emblem. Thanks!

On with adhesive. Use fishing line or dental floss to take it off and clean up with some WD40 or alcohol the apply the new Jizz.

Actually, you could probably modify a Fit badge and a Jazz badge to make a reasonably factory-looking "Jizz" badge... :P

You could also add a Sport badge. I picked this up at WalMart at least 5 years ago. It has survived many winters of road salt etc and still looks new. An old old pic as have stock tails in.

Awesome, I used fishing line because floss shredded when I tried it. Worked like a charm! Appreciate the help... and LOL @ Jizz...

Oh wow I like that! The font actually looks good with the Fit emblem too. Nice!

You are welcome.

I like the Jazz name and emblem as well but decided to settle for putting a red dot over the I in FIT. Didn't want to get into explanations for police officer, parking attendant, etc.
