How To Remove The "i-VTEC/DOHC" Decals

[Nick G]

Tired of the ricey, OEM i-Vtec DOHC decals? Don't wory I got your fix.

Total Time: 45 minutes or 2 hours

Items Needed:
1 bottle of Goo-Gone, cost= 3 bux
1 towel, cost= free
1 hair dryer, cost= 1 girlfriend


First, identify the decals, and clean the area of all dirt


Then, I rubbed a little Goo-Gone on, and over, the decals to loosen em up a bit. I then dried the area to avoid burning the Goo-gone.



Now, grab your trusty hair dryer and apply even heat to the decal. Don't keep the heat in one place. If you keep the heat concentrated on area, you risk bubbling your paint. I kept my dryer 1-2 feet away from the car, but it depends on how hot your dryer gets. I had mine set to high.


Peel off the decal. The speed you take em off at depends on how hot the glue is.


Don't worry if the decal rips, just keep giving it heat and Goo-Gone. I had to put on a lil more Goo-Gone.


Then, I went back to heating it.


When it's all off, you'll have a some adhesive, sticky, gummy stuff left on the car.


No Sweat! Just throw some Goo-Gone on there and wipe off!



ALL GOOD!



SIDE NOTE: IT'S SUGGESTED THAT YOU WASH YOUR CAR, THEN APPLY WAX TO THE AREA.

Excellent DIY. This has been done before, but never with pics (to my
knowledge) - good work.
Also, there's one last step I'd highly suggest - apply a healthy
amount of wax to that area after removal.

Why do you recommmend applying wax?

[Si3]

you might want to apply wax because of the super harsh cleaning agent you just rubbed into your paint..
