I love that car. Looks real nice. Although, I would rather get the Euro-imapct strips without the reflector, but it still looks good. Nice man.

I won't be putting the badge back on my car, unless it's a renntech badge when i'm finished modding but you could probably use the same 3M foam adhesive tape the original badges used.

Just food for thought.... I had previously debadged my VW Passat, and used acrylic fishing line, which seems to take off more of the glue, so there is less effort with the goo-gone. The fishing line also being cylindrical is less prone to any sort of scratching like a credit card might be.

Has Renntech decided to produce the pulley for your car? I forget what the current status is.

now i'm thinking about getting the same exhaust as Nick's C240, an Eisenmann, it can be done for $1000 installed.

Depends on the dealer. You going to have name it for anyone to know. my guess that it isn't "bolted" on. Simple credit card...actually I used a old ATT phone card, lil thinner than a credit card to get mine off.

I can't wait for the front lip to be produced for our cars like the guy with the C55 and the Carlsson lip which looks awesome. The guy who is producing the custom carbon fiber lip says two monthes and he will be working on it.

super easy bro.
i had mine taken off before i left the lot.
you a really thin card or plastic and slowly push - slide into the cornersand it will co me off. it does take a little elbow grease but it wont scratch your paint. if some letters are harder to remove, slide it in one corner as far as you can go then do the same from a different angle/corner of the letter.

debadging rocks

good luck!

heat it with a hair dryer then dental floss it..itll come off easier and the glue will be easier to remove..after its mostly all off, take some goo gone or goof off or whatever that cleaner stuff is..and clean all the glue off the paint..then light coat of wax it..simple 20 min job
