    I bought my fiancee the pink i badge for her car in the hopes that it will satisfy her need for pink on the car. Is there anything that I should know about removing the old badge so that I don't damage it?

    Pry evenly from the bottom or top with something wide (prybar works awesome). The thing is pretty sturdy, it's just taped on there.

    I had the the "Pink I" for a couple days until I got another badge. I even swapped it out right at Morries after I bought it, just pulled right to left didnt harm it or anything.

    I did it the ghetto way..........Because I could not loosen up the old badge, I just put the new badge right on top of the old one. It actually looks better b/c it sits in a more pronounced position like it is floating there.

    actually I have no problems with it being loose. What i did was clean the surface of the old badge. And for the next 2-3 days I checked it and pressed it hard to stick in place. I've had it on for over a year now and personally I think it looks better this way.

    I used a blow dryer and then I got some floss and got under a conner of it and slowly work your way across until it falls off. Then I used some ISO heat to get the rest of the crap of so there was a clean service to put the new badge down on.

    A little fishing line underneath and it comes right off.
