Noob Help!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Toyota scene and I'm trying to figure out how to figure out how to debadge the car. I've done it on my Acura and I'm wondering if it is just as simple as dental floss and a blow dryer. Also any other DIY links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do a search 'debadge' of the site, and you will find some interest threads!

N.E.O.

I did this on my Galant GTZ, and i just used (carefully) a pair of needle nose plyers and the letters just came off pretty easily with very little residue left behind. I was able to clean that off with a rag and hot water.

I did the same thing on my Rolla and the letters were quite a bit tougher to get off and left quite a bit more sticky residue. Used some Goo Off and a rag and got most of it off. When the car is spankin' clean you can see some remains, but as soon as it gets the first layer of dust / dirt, you can't see anything...

Never thought of floss and a heater
