Thumbs up QUICK question!!!

1. How is everyone removing the rear FIT badge, safely?

2. Do they make/ sell that rear black plate where the wiper, emblem are shown? I did a rear wiper delete and have the problem of shaving the bump and making it flush because it looks weird now with a hole.

Thanks y'all, go!

to remove the FIT badge you can use some fishing string and goo gone. its pretty simple. As far as for the wiper delete, you can find a variety of plugs or grommets at your local hardware store and paint them with some touchup paint to match.

thanks man for the quick response. I talked to the guy and home depot and he looked dumbfounded when I told him I need to plug that spot. I'm still trying to find something to fit since it's a weird shape

if you want to remove the badge safely, take a hair dryer to it to warm up the adhesive, then slowly move it up and down and you should be able to slowly rip it off without breaking the badge. That's what I did and it worked fine. I tried using dental floss on it but it broke on me so I just basically slowly ripped it off while making sure it was still toasting warm. Then you can take some rubbing alcohol to wipe off any residual adhesive.
