Z34Driver · 06-16-2012, 08:04 PM

Just added this because I thought it was a cool shot that my gf took while she was tanning...

Haha, she was almost in one of the pics, walking the dog, but she got out of frame right as I took the pic, sorry guys. Maybe next time

Looks great. I always remove badging on my vehicles. Most of my customers want them removed as well. You need to polish the area now. If the badging has been on the car for several years, wet sanding is usually needed. This should only be dome by a professional.

Thanks NXTAZEE, I always do the same thing, just looks much cleaner IMO. I would like to have the burgers shaved too, but I'll probably put cash towards many other mods before this one.

It's been on there since the first owner bought it from the dealer I suppose. I just picked the car up in early April of this year. I was going to try applying some Nu-Finish to the area today to see if it helped any. If not, I worked at a few car washes along the "come-up" haha, and still have friends in the detailing game that I can get in touch with to help me out.

If you wet sand it with 3000 grit paper and buff it ,it will come right out.

Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can find a local place this week.

It's crazy, I drove from Athens down 316E to 285W to Vinings, Ga, then to Powder Springs, Ga yesterday, then back up I-20 to 285E to 85N all the way to Jefferson, Ga, and down 129 back into Athens. Never saw another 370 on the road anywhere

I did see an STi...next to me for a few seconds, before he was behind me...

Depends on how long they've been on. If the paint has been faded, sanding won't work.
