I’ve wanted to remove the Chevrolet on mine for a while, but afraid as old as it is I won’t be able to get all glue/tape off and would you still see the outline once removed. How do you recommend removing cleanly?

I De-badged my Burban about 2-3 years ago. I used braided fishing line to get mine off. I used
Thanks! I did this and applied a gasket adhesive also. It seems to be holding very well. I also must have had something that spilled on it previously as it seemed very sticky. A good cleaning fixed that problem thankfully so I was able to fix this for like $10 waay cheaper then replacing an otherwise perfectly good gasket.
That's funny, mine was sticky as hell too. LOL
It looked like sticky brown syrup type of stuff, probably a soda or something that was spilled years ago. But I used some Adam's All Purpose Cleaner and got it all clean.
Oh, and I got your fan harness today brother. :Handshake:

I've begun upgrading my headlights...again. I ordered some LED fogs and low beams, and if I like those, I'll get the highs and the DRLs.

Fogs came today, and I really like them. They're bright and a nice color.

These are the lows I ordered:

I have the same lows. I like them, but one blew out recently, which they replaced.

Monofilament. I have taken badges off just by parking them in the sun, but a heat gun will really make life easier.

After that, eraser wheel if you didn’t get all the glue off.

Hit it with an AIO, or some cleaner wax, or some polish. Should blend everything. I took all my badges and trim off a 12 year old black truck with bad paint and have next to no holograms or outlines.

When I De-badged my truck, I used braided fishing line, some Goo-Gone, and an eraser wheel on a drill. And I used them in that order. Then I polished that area with some polishing compound and some finishing polish, and the outline on the paint completely disappeared.
And the braided fishing line worked GREAT because it has some texture to it, so it's better for sawing back and forth on the foam mounting tape.

Don't be alarmed, but there's a midget breaking into your house.
