Fender emblems
Any advice on removing the pesky emblems from the fenders??

I'm trying to get them off to prep for the flames I'm painting on the front and cant see how they come off exactly.


Thanks,
Jason

I hear they just pull off, but I'm not 100% sure.
What I am sure about is everyone said use dental floss, get behind it, follow it through the whole emblem, and wam it's off.

There aren't any bolts holding them to the fenders, just tape??

They should be on there with the adhesive, use a plastic body putty spreader to take them off by getting underneath, or hair dryer, and then use Laquer thinner to take off the glue and gunk

Their just could be just adhesive holding them on. I thought I saw somewhere they were bolted. I could be wrong though That has happened once before Just start sawing with dental floss and a little heat...

If there are no holes in the fender underneath them, maybe. If there are holes, they are going back on because I dont feel like filling them in.
I'll let you know.

They are held on by double sided tape, and yes there are 2 holes in the fender.
