Got the badge off quicker but left more adhesive on the truck, which was teh hardest thing for me to remove.
It has been pretty hot where I live. I didn't even need to use a hairdryer. I did it in the late afternoon after letting my truck sit out all day. I found I could kinda roll the adhesive with my fingers and use the resulting "ball" of adhesive to pull the rest off. I think I was able to do three badges this way in under 30 minutes. This (for me) was a real easy and quite satisfying modification.

Yeah, to some those were "cool" ( to some ) when they put them on but now... well, not so cool. This is just my input on your idea so if you like "Git R Done", then go for it.
hehe
I know what you mean. Kinda like a tattoo . .

I prefer 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS', but it's probably too long.
Thanx for your thoughts . .

The factory badges have pins for holes on the sheetmetal. The aftermarket Billet Badges so popular come without pins. The badges are installed by noting exactly where the old badges are placed (marking fender w/masking tape) prior to removing them. IMO well worth the effort and expense.
