Removing badges??

[DutchTBI]

I saw some pictures of Tahoe's/Yukon's without the badges on the doors and tailgate. I like that clean look and would like to take these badges off. How are the attatched? Just glued or are there any holes underneath? Is there an easy way to take them off without damaging the paint?

Heat Gun And Goo Gone, No Pins Or Anything Just Double Sided 3m Tape

Nope, no holes. I just did mine on the 01 Hoe this week. Got a day or two of sunshine so I thought I'd put a couple coats of wax on after debadging. Just take some fishing line or dental floss and saw it down behind the badges, preferably in a warm area or heated up a little, mine was cold and the rest of the removal is PIA.

There will be black double sided tape under them, mine was virtually ALL there, so with gentle fingernail removal, and rubbing with thumbs, after trying with Goof Off and Rubbing alcohol, mine came off, after about an hour and three pretty big blisters on my thumbs and a fingertip, from rubbing it all off. I don't have a heat gun or hair dryer.

All the badges came off and it looks pretty slick, going to post a question about where to find chrome lettering to do a custom badge.

Yeah, I think I was going to head that direction and go with the italics ones, all caps, can't find much else
