As a matter of fact, I just saw it done to several cars last weekend. Assuming it is just the stick on kind, and not the plug in ones, you take some fishing line and pull it back and forth under it. then you have to use something to get the tape residue off but I forgot what it is. Sorry

If there is residue left behind, use Goo Gone. Get it in the spray bottle. Get a non-abrasive rag. Soak gunk with Goo Gone. Let it set for a minute. Scrape the gunk with the rag. Repeat this until the gunk is gone.

If you have a mismatching paint spot where the badge was, get some polish and work it in following the instructions. If that doesn't fix the problem, take it to a shop and have them buff it for $50.

I wish I didn't have 6 holes to bondo and paint on my trunk(gen2)

With little effort. Why would you want to?

Just take a picture of your car and then Photoshop it.

That's how it would look.

If you don't have Photoshop, send me a pic of your car and I will do it for ya.

It'll look better... it almost always does. Keep the "T" though.

i've heard from many other ppl in here that on gen 3's and 3.5's some have holes after removing and some don't


Question: what would you go about using to put the emblems back on?

My idea is if i take them off, and no holes i'll leave be. But if their are holes i'll spray them black and put them back on.

I believe your C-A-M-R-Y letters will have no holes, but everything else will.

If you spray black, be sure to do a good job on em. A few coats of black, then a few of clear, let it dry between each coat, and they should withstand the elements. Good luck

Double sided mounting tape.

I think you can buy a little roll of it from autoparts stores.
