Pics After Removing Badges And Front Plate


Recommended Posts

Posted

Here are some pics after debadging, removing the front plate bracket and polishing with my favorite polymer-based product. It took about an hour to remove the badging on both doors and the tailgate. The current trim tape (black, thin) comes off alot easier then what GM was using in 99 (white, thick). No heat necessary, just used fishing line to "cut" the letters off, roll the foam tape off with your finger and clean residue. I cleaned the residue first with simple green which removes alot of it and used goof off to get the few tough spots removed. Cleaned with detail spray and polished.

Nice clean look.

 

I always take off the cr$#py dealer emblem but leave the other ones. I am not going to give them free advertising. :( Plus they always put it in a place where it detracts from the look.

Agreed. I quickly peeled the 3"x4" sticker my dealer put on the tailgate.

 

Nice rig, Lincoln. I thought about debadging my doors, but since I don't have door moldings, it would probably look too plain.

Hmmm . . . . I have no badges or stickers . . . .

 

 

I tell the uniformed people that I have a new Toyota truck . . . .

Along those same lines you can tell them that you got rid of your other 3 cams...or that the factory forgot to include them, hahahaha.

And dont forget to mention that you had to have a new tailgate put on after it flew off and slammed into someone else's windshield and killed the person.... I wonder it Toyota had had to deal with that?

dude you could sell all your badges on ebay! Might pay for a couple of gallons of gas.

 

Nice truck Brian. Had the same thing. She was good to me, 100K with one trip to the dealer for a speed sensor, ohhh and a lot of front rotors.

I'd like the look without mouldings but I need them since I don't have great parking at my office. I would like mouldings without the chrome strip but I haven't looked into the cost of getting the mouldings for a regular Sierra Crew Cab yet.
