I am thinking of removing the GTP badges on the doors for a clean look ( I have removed completely all the "stuff" on the trunk ) and was wondering if anyone has done this and if anyone has pictures of how it looks. I just love a clean look so anyone any suggestions.........

There are a number of different ways of removing any of your badges. I've taken off both my door badges and the ones on the trunk. I heated up the badge with a hair dryer then used a relatively soft spatula to pry each badge off. Make sure to keep the badge good and warm, otherwise you may end up taking a little paint with the adhesive. I've also heard of, and tried with painful results, the dental floss method. Again, heat up the badge and work a piece of floss back and forth behind the badge 'til you "saw" through the adhesive. After cutting off the blood to a number of my fingers, I settled on the spatula method.

Good luck,
Marc
