firepyro515 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 This may have been asked and answered before, but i cant seem to find the answer. When you debadge the rear of a legacy, behind the legacy and subaru lettering, are there any marks or holes of any kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 :eek:big holes behind every single letter :lol: No, the only thing that has studs/holes is the actual Subaru Pleidies emblem. Everything else is double-sided sticky tape. Just heat the lettering well with a hair dryer, then use some dental floss to "saw" off the tape from the surface. You'll know the lettering is hot enough when you can't hold your finger on it, but it's too hot when you see the tape starting to smoke. J/K about the heat, just get it good and warm and then slip a piece of dental floss between the paint and the tape, and work it back and forth. It'll come off easier than you think.

bigb3630123 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm kidding........ use fishing line on a warm day and some goo gone type gunk removal to get the glue off and it's bare underneath. The suby emblem on the back is a different story. I do believe I heard someone say there are holes behind it. I left mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aowen Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 How new does the car have to be to debadge? it, I'd like to debadge but I'm concerned that there will be an outline around where the letters were. Mine is 2007, built a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigb3630123 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 You might see a tiny outline if you get real close but after a couple washes it will be 100% gone. I have an 05 and just went totally bare on the backside and it came 100% clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km580 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Mine is an '05, the letters came off with floss and then I used WD40 to take off any residue and then NXT to even everything out. Fat people are hard to kidnap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck16 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can i assume that the floss trick is still in effect for the new model rear badges sans the main Suby one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedraz Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Use a hair dryer to heat up the letters as well, makes it much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atchipmunk Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't bother to heat it up and the lettering still came off pretty easy using a dental floss "saw". As for removal of any adhesive residue I use some Acrysol from Kent Automotive and then use some paint cleaner to buff the area afterwards. No trace of there ever being any lettering there now...and this is on an '05 LGT Wagon with 136,000miles that I just debadged about 3 months ago...

SBT Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ^ Combine the two (hairdryer and floss saw) for even more ease of removal. Then use the hairdryer to further soften the residue. I used WD40 to further help clear the residue and then polished with some Mequiars polish. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornichoe Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Didn't find anything else newer, so reviving this from the dead... Does anyone know if the rear emblem on the '15 - '17s can be taken apart? What I mean is can the glossy part with the blue back be removed without taking off the entire chrome part off?
