I know one thread in another forum talked about using a blow dryer so I can see how that would do it. But I should just be happy I had no problems and no scratches.
I almost went ahead and pulled the WRX and STI badging....but decided to think about it.....
I would be extremely pissed if someone tried to pull.....I'd rather they just ask for it....I'd be much happier taking it of for them!

Well, I finally took my SUBARU off. I left the WRX for now. It was a little harder for me, since I didn't use goo gone or adhesive remover. I tried WD-40, but that didn't work so well, so it was all hair-dryer and rubbing like mad. Afterwards I had some outlines of the letters (the ghost of SUBARU
) so I had to get out the rubbing compound. that worked great. Rewashed the whole car, and waxed the rear gate. I like my car the way I like my women... smooth on the rear.
