I've generally associate debadging with "smoothed bootids and lexus lights"
that are often found on Corsas and MK2 Golfs. I would keep them on personally.

very split opinions here.
right im basically going for the stealth look. ie looking at a high end spoiler maybe carbon fibre, maybe just a red one, and a front lip, possible carbon too. then maybe some eibachs to stiffen her up. thats pretty much the exterior mods. dont want bigger wheels etc.
then its the engine and handling
still deciding on the lettering

hmmm looking favourable to getting rid of both now. only thing is if the paint has faded, would a good polish help out? the paints pretty good and i regularly wash and polish everytime.
not sure though, dont want subaru wrtitten across my bootlid in rich red text

You want people to be able to read the letters as you disappear into the distance in front of them.
still cant decide. gonna be a pain to get off though. any suggestions, ie a hairdrier and fishing wire?

Boil the kettle and poor boiling water over each letter and slowly pull off. Stop pooring before you pull the letters off!! Nail varnish remover should get any spicky bits left
Then compound or T-cut the boot then polish, job done. My mate owns a paint shop so I had access to glue remover but nail varnish remover or petrol should do the trick.

and that wont blister the paint or anything. ive heard of nail polish remover to be successful, but never a boiling kettle
also why do you have to compound??? or t-cut. before polishing... i havent got either.
