Should I debadge on a 99? Will the paint be darker underneath?
I've been thinking about taking off the S U B A R U on my trunk and leaving my 2.5RS emblem. Only thing is I'm not sure if I should take it off cause I don't want the paint to be noticibly darker underneath, any thoughts?? My paint is in overall good condition still but I wanted to check before doing anything I'd regret.

Okay well I got the residue off with bug/tar remover and a card. Then I wiped it clean and claybared the area, washed it then waxed a few times. It came out pretty well but if you look REALLY close you can see a thin edgy outline from where the letters were. The claybar and wax got rid of most of it but I guess the rest will eventually wear off. Even if it doesnt I don't care cause you need your face 5 inches away or closer to even see it :-\
