Rob.. Ex. Club Member May 4, 2009 #3 I thought the badges had pins in them had to be removed somehow? Or does the whole thing just pull straight off?

Click to expand... there is no indent under the bump strips, the body is painted underneith but on some cars the paint comes off with the strips. you can use a hair dryer but if you check the guide section you can read about some much better methods of removing them, depending on what badges you are refering too, the nissan badges will leave holes and indents.
