    Hi all. Can anyone tell me how to get those emblems stripped? I've got rock chips in them and chunks falling out. I would like to clean em up without buying new ones and the stickers don't seem to last long. Thanks

    I just removed all that cracked remaining plastic chunks. I have a pic but can't figure out how to post it here. The emblem looks really cool.

    That looks good but how did you do it? That's what I'm trying to find out.

    all ya gotta do is peel the acrylic off of the emblem, the red usually comes with it....if not some paint stripper, then polish it and it should look just like that picture

    And if you polish it enough eventually it will look like this.
