Well at least your tail light is easily replaceable!

And you didn't destroy your car!

yeah you could have accidentally melted the whole car, that would have sucked worse

You gotta get some help there, Matt. I'll bet no one but you can see it. If it was a '67 2000GT, maybe. Harden up, man!

I dont think anyone here has ever suggested using a heatgun. This is probably why!

There are a LOT of threads about debadging. Try searching first next time...might save you some headache.

i think someone did suggest a heat gun once in one of the threads i was reading ...

i used a hair dryer - much less risk

Don't cry........






















Really.... don't.

Taillights.. can be expensive. look on ebay.

touch up paint can be bought at ur local dealership for $8.50
Clear coat at advanced autoparts for $1.99

[Sniperdude]

They're just taillights. You'll be fine. Shit I fucked my front end up and rebuilt it from junkyard stuff, so usually it's fixable.

i saw that too.. i did my in the summer so i used the sun to warm it up. and used a 10lbs fishing line and took it off with ease.. and then the goo gone and wax to finish it off. cause of the paint fade you can see the outline at certain angle. =/

[bigbird]

why the hell were u using a heat gun a hairdryer is more then enough to get it warm enough to remove. hell if u hold a flashlight up against it it will work too...ive tried it.

well sorry ya messed it up but at least ya didnt hurt much.
