Was it hard to get off? I've wanted to do this. Also, how do you get the dealership labeling off?Debadged the tailgate with a little heat and fishing line. Was easy since the adhesive tape was soft and pliable. A little adhesive remover to clean up any residue. Lost one of the "P" in the process, now left with "_ASSPORT".
The OEM badges were easy with a little heat from a hair dryer (not too hot or let it sit in the sun). I was surprised that the adhesive tape was very pliable. After a few years, the tape and adhesive will likely harden. I did not have a dealership label. Use heat and use your fingernail to peel up a corner, then remove slowly. Here are a couple of photos. I lost/misplaced a "P" when I was done.
For getting labels off, this thing is the best.

That looks great. My dealer one peeled right off. A plastic razor took the "passport" and "Elite" off and the heat gun and razor took care of the AWD. I had to use a lot of goo gone and elbow grease to get the ghosts of those off. I had never done that before but love the look of a "clean" car without the badges! Glad I read about it.For getting labels off, this thing is the best.

Can you tell me what tires and rims you have? I love the look.
The MXH - because someone else got it and said it helps drastically with fingerprints
!Did you get the installation kit as well? Easy to do?The MXH - because someone else got it and said it helps drastically with fingerprints
Yes, it comes with an installation kit. The other guy said it was easy to put on. Will see after I receive it.
Got mine off today. It looks awesome without those things!The OEM badges were easy with a little heat from a hair dryer (not too hot or let it sit in the sun).

Aside from a cleaner look, it makes the detailing (waxing) easier without the badges. And, the rear cheeks on the tailgate become more obvious.Wait a minute - so you took away your Passport's identity?
It does look clean, but I feel like it's identity is now a mystery...Aside from a cleaner look, it makes the detailing (waxing) easier without the badges. And, the rear cheeks on the tailgate become more obvious.
Scooter Dude,
