i removed mine recently with an adhesive remover (forget the name brand - not important tho) that i got from pep-boys. just ask them for adhesive remover.

it wont damage the paint as long as you wipe it away during the process. have plenty of towels and i used a dull card (one used for tint placement) to peel the logo off. took about 10-15 minuites but it's flawless. my car is 2 years old and braves the elements everyday and there was no difference in paint color afterwards.

Just a quick note, when you are taking the logo off the back, I would suggest putting blue painters tape around the logo. This helps in case whatever tool you are using gets away from you, it will help prevent scratches to your paint in the area. Make sure it is blue (or expensive green) painters tape.

be patient with it! most of us are in a hurry and get frustrated easily. it'll come off. it just takes time. 10-15 minutes will feel like an hour.

thanks for the presidential nomination!!!

think I posted this before on here, but after you take it off, you can manipulate the logo, and make it something like this:

yeah, the same way. Basically, both logos are held on by think double stick tape (basically), the "t" in the picture above was the t from tC.

Instead of using a card and adhesive remover, I used a hair dryer and some fishing line. 10 minutes it was beautiful. The clean the spot where it was and give it a little coat of wax and there you go. if you do use fishing line mke sure you try and go as close to the paint as possible. Makes cleanup a lot easier.
