Default With or without badges?

The previous owner of my spec D STI had it rebadged as an STI and I am thinking of undoing this. What do you all think? Photos in "View my scooby".

If I was to debadge it how would I do it? Would it need a respray?

So you've got an STi that's been rebadged as an STi?

I'd just leave it if I were you!

I'll do a search on YouTube then, unless anyone has any tips to share?

I think I will debadge it if I go for the A-line spoiler as the whole 'D' aspect has been lost anyway with the upgraded spoiler. Still undecided.

A hair dryer for about 10-15 seconds over the badge is enough to heat it up enough to peel them off. Just get some dental floss or fishing wire behind the badge and move it gently along until it comes off.

I heated the glue back up again once the badge was off for again about 10-15 seconds and it just rolled off when pushing with the thumb.

Ok thanks. What about the badge on the grill at the front, does it unclip or something?
