Has anyone tried to take the star off the trunk and hood? Is it glued on?

I usually take all names and badges off my vehicles with a little heat and floss.

I'm all for debadging, but not removing the manufacturers emblem. Personally, I don't think it would look good with them removed.

To each their own, but to me it would look like a vehicle used in a commercial or TV show that didn't have permission of an automotive company. I like the stealthy subtle branding of the P2, but getting rid of everything feels a bit much for me.

Ok - I appreciate your thoughts.

I had the front badge removed for ppf application.
It is glued on with 0.8mm double sided tape.
It was removed using braid fishing line.
Under the front emblem there are 4 locating holes in the plastic, two round, two oval.
I filled the holes in and put some clear vinyl wrap over them to see what it would look like.
Frankly, too me, it looked like sh!t.
The indentations around the holes were still visible.
PPF went on and badge was replaced.

Not 100% sure but emblems are typically taped/adhesive taped on. Usually can be warmed with a hair dryer and then use dental floss behind the emblem to disengage.
here is a replacement….https://www.vivaperformance.com/genuine-polestar-rear-emblem-polestar-2/

i don’t have a problem with the rear emblem but didn’t like the side stickers. Good luck.

Same here, and I agree it looked very weird and bad.

Just took the front one off and covered it up. I wanted to let everyone know what team I'm on.

Holy cr*p, how do I say this in a nice way ... that is a one of a kind for sure

No cheap s**t here. I payed large for the official badge off the Camero. It's solid steel. 😉

 

[RJOC]

Thanks for the info - I don't like the stickers on the side either, so I'll remove them.

I'm getting the entire car covered in PPF.

Okay regardless of what anyone else says on this forum, that is awesome.

Are you doing that for a colour change through the PPF material like a satin or matte effect? I mean otherwise there isn't much point in covering the entirety of the car.

Is that like the ebay version of a Camaro? 😁

There is a point to me! My last car was black, and I had the PPF on the front end, mirrors etc., and the rest of the car was Ceramic-coated. After a few years of washing and dusting, the unprotected areas had hairline scratches and swirls, and the PPF area was pristine.

By covering all painted surfaces, there will be no hairline scratches or swirls and I don't have to wax, and the cost is the same as 1/2 PPF and the other half Ceramic.

Makes total sense to me.

Like many people, I removed the side stickers as soon as I got the car. I would’ve loved to ditch the front & rear emblems if they were just adhered, but filling holes & respraying was too much effort for me.

I look forward to seeing the results if you go for it though!
A thread from back when the car was pretty rare…

Logo No More

*I love the mystique of my car. Cold Thunder grey, black interior. How hard do you think it would be to remove the logos front & back? I've already removed the stickers & want to debadge it more. I've always loved the idea of no name, no brand, no logo. *This is a safe place for me to speak...

I'd be looking into your washing techniques or what else happens. Getting hairline scratches and swirls when ceramic coated is not normal. But hey if it works for you then go for it.

Thanks Dave for the info and link to the other thread. Considering there are registration holes, I will leave them on.

Maybe my PPF guy will remove them and then reapply when complete. I will however remove the stickers from the front fenders.

Hi KanedaKid...can I ask how did you remove the badge on the front grill (not the hood badge)? Thanks!
