ZL1 Badging Removal on Carbon Hood

45LongColt · 12-07-2023, 04:10 PM

Anyone here remove the ZL1 badging from the carbon fiber insert in their hood? Is it okay to use a heat gun on that? I have a pair of custom ZL1 matt black emblems I want to replace the chrome ones with. Thanks

I would warm it up with something more like a hairdryer, and use some dental floss in behind the badge. Can you please post a picture of your changeover I don’t like the red on the one and I am thinking of something different as well.

Mine still have the red 1. But the guy can make you just about anything.

Looks Great! I would like to have something like that but have the 1 in white instead of red

Here is the Brian Tooley Racing he did for me.

Im sure he can do anything you desire. Takes about a 2 week turn a round.

Check him out on Instagram, 0fx2gv.

Consider some top shelf self-healing PPF while you have them off.

No swirls, ever!

Those come off just like they do off of paint, same method/procedure when I deleted them off my CF insert.

NYTMARE23 · 12-08-2023, 11:29 AM

I used fishing line to pop off the letters/number, then used goo gone automotive to get the sticky adhesive off. After the adhesive was off, I took a microfiber towel with soapy water to rinse off the goo gone chemical real good. The next day I took the car to get PPF done on the Carbon Fiber hood insert(as well as other areas), then had a vinyl graphic place make my letters/number in Matte black and Matte red. I chose vinyl because I HATE cleaning around badging.

SORRY for some of the sideways pics

If it were me I would just leave it blank... I've always taken mine off the rear but this gives me another idea.

I typically debadge as well. The one on the rear looks a hair crooked and I keep looking at it

I would leave it as is if were me but I don’t own the ZL1 in the thread!
