Default Debadging

When you debadge the trunk (03 WRX) what was the way you did it?
Is there holes in the back of them or is it a peel and wipe process?

Like peel them, Goo-off the residue and wash?

Thanks in advanced,
Josh

the way i did mine was to heat with heat gun or hairdryer but in this summers heat you can do it in the afternoon after the sun has warmed it up pretty good. then i used dental floss to guide behind and peal away the badging. there are no holes on the 03 wrx. they are all sticker badging. i used goo off to get the rest of the glue residue off the trunk. then wash and wax and you'll have a naked rear!

^^I did the same thing and it worked well. You may want to buff that area afterwards because even with using the goo gone you can still see where the badge was in certain lighting.
