Welcome and nope, there all on with 2 sided tape. The door moldings though are on with tape and clips, so if you decide to remove them you'll find a bunch of small holes behind there
noo, the moldings down the doors, basically the door dingers, all the badges are on with tape, even the pontiac logo on the front bumper.
if done right you will never tell there was badges there.
best way to do this is a get rubber wheel (called pinstripe remover in the parts world) which most places that carry body supplies, like a napa or paint shop will have these. Its basically a big eraser wheel that you can put on a die grinder or in a drill and with a little pressure will cut right through the left over tape and residue. First use a good scraper to break the tape and peel the badge, then rubber wheel on whats left, and finish up wiping down with laquer thinner or equalivalent. Will look perfect when done! The rubber wheel WILL NOT burn through your paint unless you are trying to, even then it would take a LONG time. I work in a very large collision shop and do probably 20 to 40 badges and pinstripes a week, so if you have any questions on anything with removal or reapplication i can help ya out!
as long as you don't take a razor blade or anything crazy to it, no. On silver i doubt you'll notice any fading at all, if it was black i would say you can tell but on how light your color is no.
welcome
let me know if u plan 2 get rid of the gtp emblems.
