you can most likely take it off the same way as any other emblem, fishing line and a blow dryer. if its a sticker, try heating it up and peeling it off with your finger nail. any goo left over can be takin off with goo-gone, etc...
thankfully my dealer doesnt put emblems or stickers on their cars. they use good ol' license plate frames :wink:

also im glad my dealers name is "ridge road imports" and not "cobb county toyota".

Sorry man - still laughing at the dealership name... but that just shows how incredibly immature I really am!

Like SolaraBlue said - heat, fingernail or something plastic to get the edge started and SLOWLY peel it off.

I use Bestine (rubber cement thinner, found at Aaron Brothers or any art supply store) which will not damage paint in any way, no matter how much you use or how hard you rub it. It works better than Goo-Gone and safer too. Also works great as a tar remover!

Hope that's a little more helpful than me poking fun at your dealership name!

Cheers

When i removed my girl's stupid dealership name off her tC I also used some M3 adhesive remover to clean it real good. I have a heat gun so i used that to peel it off, and then the M3 adhesive remover to make sure it was all out.

I bought my Solara at Cobb County Toyota too, and I made them take the sticker back off the car before I signed for it

I wish that were possible :lol:

Suggestion for those buying a new car...Tell them you want absolutely NO dealership crap on it. They will remove it, ot if you catch them before they put the crap on, they won't put it on.

I am vehemently opposed to giving them free advertising. Schmucks charge enough markup without that too.
