a car that can't do the throttle reset.
I owe every one of you a tremendous apology. Recently I had a situation led me abroad back to my country to take care of a few emergencies and have been out of touch for at least 2 weeks (thus a 3 week delay). I am usually on point with a week max of getting items out and shipped and delivered.

After sitting on my desk, as decoration, for nearly a year, I finally got the courage to peel off the "V6 kompressor" badging and put these beauties on my car.
I wish I had done it sooner.
Thanks Turbo. Awesome work.

Sweet! I too have them on my desk, lol. Any tips on taking the existing "V6Kompressor" off?

I used dental floss and Goo Gone. But, the real trick for making the project easier was to seriously warm up the letters with a blow dryer. The double stick tape was much more pliable when warm.

Honestly, that was also the main fear for me too. The actual peeling off of the lettering only took about 3-4 minutes. It was the goo that made me work hard. As I said, the blow dryer was great. Once I heated the goo (I had already heated the letters before peeling them off), everything moved along nicely.
I think I spent more time positioning the new badges on the car after cleaning the fenders up.

Are these badges metal or plastic? Are these in any way different than the mass produced ones on eBay? Thx
