Does this method work on 08/09 badges?
| Mechie3 | 03-15-2009 08:56 AM |
Mostasz: Looks good on the car. It was hard to make a decision before it was mounted. My spare one cracked like that too. The acetone and other chemicals in goof off and nail polish remover attacks the plastic causing it to fracture due to internal stresses present from the original molding.

im in the process of painting mine right now as im typing this and my badge cracked as well=[ but i cant decide to do silver/red or black/red on my PSM MY05. im gunna print them both out and tape it to my car to see what they would look like.. ohh and mastasz if you put some red pin stripping around your grill it would really bring out the front of your car!

it works for the front badge. be careful not to crack it.
but i just pulled the back badge off, and from the back, i can't see the plastic badge part. i don't know if the plastic part is glued to the chrome peice or what. here is the back of what i pulled off my car:

I think black badge is too dark for PSM. Sorry, but silver looks better to me. Not because It's my car ;)
Red stripes looks good tho, get some Supertones behind that!

did anyone do the rear badge as well? i'm trying to for my 08. i got the badge off but the back is covered, not like the front where the paintable part just pops out.
looks like this: sorry its tiny.
[img]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/87/rearemblemback.jpg[/img]
the chrome piece is the entire back.
i tried heating the blue side and prying it out of the chrome frame but it wouldn't budge. any advice on this would be appreciated. thanks

| Mechie3 | 03-16-2009 11:19 PM |
The 06 rear badge is like that. On my 06, the emblem back was completely covered with a thin layer of 3m VHB tape. From the view you're looking at in the pic, is there a small hole off to one side? If there is, use that to push the emblem off after you have heated it thoroughly with a hairdryer.
Here's my 06 in 2 pieces with CF on the chrome:

^^^thanks. there were like three holes and i tried pushing at them but it didnt work but i didn't try very hard. i'll try heating it up better and do what you said. thanks.
| bedheadben | 03-16-2009 11:51 PM |
Let's see the cf/chrome one together now! On the car!
| NorthBayResident | 03-17-2009 12:53 AM |

| Jeff_qc | 03-17-2009 11:42 AM |

| smithrcing17 | 03-17-2009 02:06 PM |

So I am trying to do this with a brand new badge right now and I have got all the paint and silver flacking off but the emblem looks really foggy. I used goof off and the qutips just like what was recomended. Is my emblem destroyed? Did the goof off end up eating away at the emblem and that's why?
Also depending on how mine times out, if it comes out f'ed up would someone that has already done there's and had it come out good be interested in making me one? If so please pm me or email me. Thanks!

| sheepdog | 05-10-2009 07:25 PM |
You'll probably be ok as long as the fogging is on the back side of the plastic. If it's on the front, you can use the sanding/plastic polish method mentioned earlier in this thread, I doubt it goes very deep.
| Mechie3 | 05-10-2009 08:24 PM |
Goof off chemically attacked the plastic. Use Plastic-X and some elbow grease to clear it up by removing the thin layer that is fogged.
| ridexstraight | 05-11-2009 02:42 AM |
i used brake cleaner worked well

| banannersz | 08-09-2009 04:45 PM |
i tried to remove my back badge and it was pretty hard. i heated it up for like 2 mins. is there any easier way to remove it? do i need to heat it up for even longer?
| acemyles2.5i | 08-09-2009 07:53 PM |
try drilling a small hole in the back, but go slow and dont hit the front badge, then use that hole to poke something through and push the front part out, but remember to heat it because that **** will not budge if its not hot.....best of luck, and ya badges look sick, POST THE CARBON FIBER lol :p
| SteelStewart | 08-12-2009 04:17 PM |
has anyone tried this on a 08-09 front and rear badge??? i had a friend try to do it with brake cleaner but the plastic started to crack on him and he had to buy a new emblem. I really want to try this on my 08 wrx emblems but dont want to **** the emblems up....Can anyone help me out??

LOL Yeah it seems to be the same. I used sandpaper (150 then 220, then 400, then 1500) and then cleaned with lacquer thinner.

I didn't use any chemicals to remove paint like you would need to remove the stars. I can't speak to what will happen if you do.
