debadging 9g

[arnold355]

do the badges and molding come off pretty easy? anyone have any tips?

[SirSaula]

Dont take them off it leaves holes

[brent-ralliart08]

you can take everything off except the Mitsubishi logo. thats the only one that leaves holes

Just tried to debadge my 2004. ALL the rear badges leave holes.

[LosAngelesRider]

Did that a few years back. Had the shop take them off after my car war wrecked.

What about the rear ralliart? I thought that was just an addon sticker...

[Gotti]

Only the triple diamond leaves a hole.

sorry for bringing up an old thread, but what's the final answer? some people are saying they all leave holes while others are saying just the logo leaves holes...

i'm wondering because i wanna take the emblems off and paint them, but i do wanna leave off the "mitsubishi" emblem on the left side and not really looking to do filler work.

Cant speak for all cars Weapons Grade but on my 07 9G ralliart all the badges came off no problem except the 3 diamonds logo on the trunk which left a hole

I just debadged my 2009 Sport edition.
Badges came off easy, wash and polish, wax after.





(I also took off all the stupid decals i had on the car, looks much cleaner. Im gonna get the tails tinted soon too.)
(Also blacked out the trainer hitch after taking this photo, used plasti dip)


--------

Use a heat gun/hair dryer, keep it moving.
Get some 10lb fishing line and kind of floss behind the badges
Wipe down with goof-off, or goo-b-gone or one of those (I used whatever one said safe for most auto surfaces)
Wash, polish, wax.

Take pictures and smile.



oh and the front :)

alright, so took the emblems off today in order to paint them black. looks like the only one that leaves a hole (actually, two holes) is the logo below the third brake light. not that it matters because i'll be putting it back, anyway.
