Yo,

Anybody try and remove the factory x-type badge?? I was wondering if that was a good idea, or if it would be rough on the paint in that area??

I found a badge in a parts store that said "X-treme" and I thought it would be cool to replace the X-type badge!! Its exactly the same size!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

I planned on taking mine off once it gets warm and go for the shaved look. I'd imagine that its just some 3m double sided sticky tape but who knows with those Brits!

 

A hairdryer and some strong thread to remove.then wipe some sticky stuff remover over the sticky residue and then a wipe with some wax to finish.Personnally, I like the X Type badge, even got the AWD to go under it too.

 

Yeah I love the AWD badge but I hate the 3.0 badge I've got. The X-type badge is tolerable but I'd rather just have the AWD badge by itself!

 

I like the 3.0 badge...sets it apart from the 2.5

 

Hey Andersen,
not too difficult to remove X-type badge and replace it with the X-treme badge, as Buck says. Personally, I like the X- type one myself, but all a matter of personal opinion I guess.
Love the AWD badge and intend to get one soon, in fact, probably just go into dealership next week while I think about it and add it to the rear.
lol @ Buck "I like the 3.0 badge...sets it apart from the 2.5".........your such a snob Buck!
Come to think of it I might also buy a 3.0 badge and replace the 2.5.....rofl

So Aquill,
you gonna go for the bare *** look? No badges, just clean smooth lines!
I've saw a few vehicles over here with that look and it gets people wondering, depending on how modified the car is ( what is it?) engine size etc etc.........Has he got the horses to take me at the lights?
Me? I like a badge or two, Not too much, just that little sumthin, you know?

Sounds good, thanka fellas.

I just like being different from everyone else...Ill probably do the "Xtreme" badge with an AWD below it and really freak people out!!

 

 

Hey listen Andersen,
whatever you decide to do, lets know, take some pics so we can all see.

Cheers

I personally love the clean look! I'll get some pics of my 97 monte carlo I had. I removed badges and even the front emblem inside the grill and the stripe the car had. I nightshaded the whole tail end I just never finished it off with tint-unfortunately. If people are guessing about the car thats better! People already know without seeing the badges! Since I at least know I have the 3.0, I have no problem taking the badges off!!! I'll have to photoshop a couple of options before I rip mine off and than I'll do whatever I pick but I'll definetely post some pics for y'all just to what it looks like.

 

lol....thanks Andersen.
Re the badges....I too like the clean look, but the X-treme badge emblem as you say will turn heads and get people wonderin, but, you have an X type Jag, their gonna look anyway!

Take it easy buddy
