    Yep, I just used the fishing line and made a sawing motion behind the badges while applying a little heat from a hair dryer. And yes I poured the goo gone over the emblem at first just to ease the removal, and again after to remove any residual adhesive. And 2004TacomaSR5, I'd probably be willing to let the Tacoma badges go, but I think I will hang on to the small Toyota, and V6 badges. Sorry for the thread jack.

    nothing cool
    Yeah, for the badges just use fishing line. Maybe a warm day helps but no real need for a hair dryer or heat gun for the badges. Then use your fingernail and get the bulk of the residue off. I havent touched my vinyl bedside decals yet.

    Removed TRD Off-Road bed decals today. Heat gun. 3M Eraser Wheel. Goo Gone. Wash. Clay bar. No complaints for 10 year old paint/decals. The decal outline was barely visible after removal. After polish and wax, it will be just fine.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Better fuel economy due to lighter weight.

    Personally, I just think it's a bit more cluttered. I like clean and lean. and the reduced drag.....

    In the right light, I can see the ghost, even on a 2011 MGM. I expect a proper wax job to take of it though

    You could also see the outline of the decals when it rained. I clay barred, then polished and waxed.
