just want to know how to take off the "V6 Le" emblems? And without leaving any marks?

Can anyone take me plz

thx

You can just take a hair dryer and heat up the emblem to melt the glue, then use a putty knife to carefully pull it off. However you will still have the holes left. You have to get them filled or just shave the emblems. Hope this helps.

Thx for helping...so just take a hair dryer? So u mean either way it's gonna leave holes? What is the best way to shave them off?

thx

to take it to a body shop. Its expensive but the only other way I know of is to fill it with ? something yourself. This may or may not look good.

What i'm trying to sell is i wanna to get rid of the "V6 LE" part not the actual toyota emblem.....even the v6 le has holes?

i took off all 3 emblems off the back of mine. the two outer ones (toyota and xle) had 2 holes, and the toyota symbol had 3 holes. It cost me 900 dollars to repaint my hood, trunklid (including filling in all the holes) and all 4 fender. No idea how much it would cost to just fill in the holes though.

try dental FLOSS instead of a knife/blade. I've seen some way messed up jobs from people who used knives.

I guess i'm gonna give floss a try..thx for the help

floss ain't gonna do much if there's holes... works well if it's just adhesive holding it on. here's a pic of my 1992 LE backside. the holes for the "TOYOTA" and "LE" are already filled in. you can see the holes for the middle emblem still. i don't think that it's been confirmed which years have holes and which ones don't... seems that US vs JAP made differ (?)

So either way there's gonna be holes no matter what? Cause i don;t want to pay for filling the holes...but if i just leave it it's gonna look ulgy

Some have holes, some don't. I have holes and mine's a 92. You can easily check by just lifting the emblem up ever so slightly...you'll see if you have the holes.

On my 1991 DX, there was holes under the Toyota and Camry. I removed them and spraypainted them white to match my car. Then I just snapped them back in. It's on the right side of the trunk.

For the DX, I just removed it following these directions in the link below. I also used these instructions to remove the dealership logo from when I bougth the car.

ray ray. how much was it to fill ur holes? i have the same car and want to do the same..but.. filling in the holes is probably $$$ and my funds are limited. just wondering exactly how much it would cost... thanks.

rayray · 07-22-2002, 01:42 AM

for just that part... i'm not quite sure. i had the whole car done after it got caught in a hail storm. all in all, to get the dents out, new hood, new paint... it came out to about $3000 (insurance).

not too sure how much it would be to just get the trunk done.
