shaving emblems, Now with write-up/how-to!!!!! Options

[6strngs]

I'd like to remove the "toyota" "celica" and "gt" emblems off the back, and just leave the middle 3-ring toyota emblem. from what I know (and I very well could be wrong) the middle emblem is the only on that would actually leave holes if removed, and the others are held on by some kind of double-sided tape? so how do I go about removing them?

I'd like to go for the shaved emblem look for my new hatch, but I want to practice with my old hatch right now so if I screw anything up it really doesn't matter.

with regards to the middle toyota emblem, the holes are not that big and if your car is
dark theyre not too noticeable. you could always stick the emblem back on if you
don't like it, or you could buy a gold emblem off ebay which i think look the nuts, i'm
putting a gold one on mine soon.

Make sure the gold badges fit the rear as i bought a pair & the front was fine just a bit bigger but the larger badge wouldn't sit flush on the rear so i had to put the old one on & gonna spray it soon.

i'll check it fits later, thanks. are there any spray paints that give a shiny gold finish rather than a metallic finish? i have looked for some in the past but had no luck.
