how to remove "60D" emblem?

Why would anyone want to do this?

Why would anyone want to do this?

Some say it's for the clean look but then why not removing the "Tesla" letters and the tesla logo as well?

Clean look (some do take off the "Tesla" as well; some don't because they want to spread the word about Tesla; some don't because their real reason is below)
Easier to wash and wax
Some people with low-end cars want people to think they spent more
Some people with high-end cars don't want people to know how much they spent

I've taken stickers and labels off most of my cars because I like the clean look. I didn't take them off the Roadster because I wanted to make sure people knew what it was. Similarly while our 2012 Model S didn't come with "85" badging, I left the "Model S" on. I've got a P90DL coming that I'd like to clean up; but given that it's a 2-year lease I'll probably just leave them on.

Better yet and get some attention. Get a 150 badge.....

Quick question about the black plates, I ordered them in May and was told I would receive a post card on when I can pick it up at the DMV. I am still waiting, what is the process?

Not to hijack the thread but...

It took me over 4 months to get my letter in the mail -- just have to be patient. Once you get it, bring the letter into the DMV (I lined up about 30 minutes before they opened), wait 2 hours while everyone with an appointment goes before you...

Bring in your old plates to surrender, fill out some paperwork, pay a fee and voila!

And back to the topic: I don't like cheap plastic logos glued onto my car. I don't like logos in general, I guess. If I could take the Nike swoosh off my gym clothes I would.

Or confuse everybody and put on a 40 badge. (This is an X, right?)

Picked up my X, "Wattzen" from the detailer yesterday. Had full Suntek ppf installed. Figured the badges can always be re-applied at any time. In the meantime, uber-easy to clean! Will post pics in the Midnight Silver Gallery after the film has cured and I can give him a wash!

just curious, if i upgrade from the 60 to 75, do you think they replace the emblem too?

They do. I asked them on chat the other day.

got my X this past weekend.. thanks to all, i used floss and some alcohol pads... there was a pretty sticky black adhesive, but it came off like any other sticky sticker... debating on taking off the 'model x' part... probably leave it for now.

Take it all off, including shiny plastic T logo. Clean and stealth, with added mystery

 

[gaswalla]

be sure to remove the battery sticker from inside the front passenger wheel well... the folks on this forum won't let folks get away with just debadging the back

Looks good echin,

I would have used chisel function with a spade bit on my sds rotary hammer drill.

Gotta put that Honda logo on the back, perhaps it will improve build quality??

 

[DuplexDianne]

Here's Wattzen at the San Marcos SC. Not the best pic from the rear (took this angle to show the other Midnight Silvers charging)...Am considering putting the "T" back on b/c I do like the logo, but the words/numbers are like clutter..

If you do you can probably get rid of the sunshade too as all hondas don't have that windshield problem.

Trust me, I've seen worse in the BMW line. I don't really get the whole de-badging thing. Sure, I guess for most it's a clean, I want nothing on the car look, but most people who really know that line of car can tell which model it really is (not so much in the Tesla case obviously).

I've had my BMW factory de-badged right from the start, the main reason being that it's easier to clean without some silly emblem on it that just happens to gather all kinds of dirt around it. Plus, I got the - back then - top of the line Diesel, and didn't want to attract too much attention to that fact. There are just too many jealous people who will happily scratch your car if they think you have too much money. The good thing is, with my line of car and the way BMW styled them in those days, mine could now be anything from a 316 to a 330
