removing front badge?

[mvpatriot]

I was thinking about removing just the front side HEMI C badges and the chrome/black strips that surround it. I had been thinking about removing all the side trim, but I worry about dings in the doors. Anybody leave the door trim and remove everything else?

Thanks DJ, Thats exactly what I was looking for. Even w/ before and after! I figured this could be easily done with some fishing line or dental floss. Are there holes that have to be filled or someting? What did you pay? Thanks in advance.

Nah, they're just affixed with 3M automotive tape...that's all. After removing the one on the rear decklid myself, I was left with a hazy film where the adhesive once was, as well as a very large blister on my thumb. I then decided to take my car to the auto body/paint shop who had replaced my car's front fascia and added the 'SRT' wing a few months before. They did an excellent job and they didn't charge me a thing.

Easy to do yourself, if you can't find a dealer that will do it for nothing. Spray WD40 all around the badge. Don't worry it wont hurt your paint. Next, take a hair dryer and heat the badge up. Start to pull on one end while badge is still warm. You may have to get using WD40 as you pull it. Some people let the WD40 sit for an hour before they start. I put on SRT8 badges. Of course, that what I have. Hope this helps. Cecil.................
