it won't mess up your paint.. put some on a rag.. rub in small circles.. clean off after the glue is gone.

Yeah that stuff works great. I was getting a BJ from a girl and she put her gum on my stomach. Well, the gum ended up in her hair. We tried everything to get it out and the only thing that got it out was Goo Gone. But she smelled like **** after that, even after washing her hair 3 times. lol

Is the front logo held on by glue or bolts?

I want to take off the front flying M since I just found out its glued on. When I shaved my other badge last year, you could see RX8 in the paint since the other paint was tinted from the sun. How bad will the outline from the flying M show up on my front bumper of my 5 yr old 8 Im kinda nervous......

It will show.. you can try buffing it out but it may not go away completely.

well after a month or so, the rx8 haze went away and now a year later you cannot ever tell there was a badge there, do you think it will be the same case on the front bumper?

the front get's more sun then the rear due to the angle... if you wash and wax often then oxidation would be minimum to non existent, but it's still going to be something you won't know for sure till you take it off.

Well, I bought it with 20K so Im not sure what went on for those 20K, I was usually pretty good about waxing, now more-so than before unfortunately.

Well, is it worth the risk, I hate that big *** emblem; what do you think?
