Remove rear emblem overlay (7 Viewers)

[Warrantero]

I have the rear Lexus and GX 550 black emblem overlays. They were a PIO item. Against my gray exterior I think the natural shiny emblems would stand out more.

My question is what would be the best way to remove them? I was thinking heat gun but not sure. Thanks in advance.

Yup, heat gun or blow dryer to soften the glue would be my guess.

What are you going with the overlays after? I have a friend who’s looking for some.

Be careful if you use a heat gun as they can get hotter than you think and potentially damage your paint/finish.

Definitely don't use a heat gun but rather try a hair dryer carefully without holding it to one single point for too long...
I personally love my blacked out badging on my Incognito!

We’ve got blackout emblems on our Caviar and like the look a lot. Having said that, nothing wrong with a little bling from the chrome

One thing to remember is the silver badge underneath is also held on by adhesive. You’ll have to be super careful that you don’t pry that off as well inadvertently. Heating the emblem will probably loosen the adhesive for both.
