    Took the badges off the back

    did mine on a hot day - left the car in the sun - took some fishing line to the badging. picked the adhesive off with my fingers a little lighter fluid and a paper towel to take care of the residue. all done in 5mins. i can understand if it was cold that you might need a hairdryer. looks great!

    Interior Lighting
