When I removed my H's for my Tuscani badges it wasnt that much work shoot. They came right off and I used a dab of alcohol to get the gunk and looks perfect now
i used just a random string i had lying around and took about 5min. i don't recomend the card to clean junk off. i did it and left small scratches in paint. /cry.
not very bright, windex ruins clear coat after even one hit on the paint. and zip ties, i mean really thats just asking for a big scratch, let alone the credit card. i wont let someone draw on my car in dirt and you put plastic to it. listen to these other guys or go to a body shop like a normal person
go buy a cheap pack of childs pencils with colorful holiday erasers. they are smooth rubber, and act the same as the professional body shop drill attachment. they will remove any sort of glue or sticker or "gunk" without harming or even fogging the clearcoat ;)
I used bug and tar remover, that is recommended for cars. Just spray the badges and let them soak, then I used mouth floss and the badge came off with almost all of the gunk. Then, spray the gunk with the bug and tar remover, and used a rubber scrapper, and it got rid of all of the goo, with nothing left over.
i dont think that would matter, alotta people take off their model numbers on any type of car, and add different names too. I doubt a cop would even know the difference of a Tuncani compared with a regular Tiburon
Actually I got pulled over by a cop who did actually get confused when cross checking the VIN and the emblem's... he asked me why he didn't see any Tiburon emblems. I just told him about Tuscani's and South Korea and why I did it, and he was cool, let me go. Cool guy. Just be honest with the cop. It's a tip of the hat to the origin of this car. I'm glad I did it.
I would suggest using "Goo-Gone" to remove the original adhesive residue - less chance of scratching the paint. A little heat from a hair dryer will soften the adhesive and make badge removal easier. Clever use of ty-wraps!
I don't understand. It's the same damn car, why do you need to change the name?. I can understand that Flying H logo can look cheap, but it's still a Hyundai no matter what.
Well, not in the US right?, to the best of my knowlege, it's only for Korean and European market is it not? I see no reason to change the name for it, for it IS Tiburon no matter what.
i'm not trying to be mean, but you are wrong. Tuscani is what we call tiburons here in Korea. it doesnt have anything to do with trim package. even the I4 trims have the tuscani badges on em. :)
and people put tuscani badges on them here in the states just because it looks cooler.
What you can also use to get the gunk off is
"Goo Gone" that stuff works great

I wouldnt reccomend cable ties my ANY means - theyre just too brittle and scratch paintwork.
Double up some dental floss, and cut through using that - much safer.

The Tuscany IS a Hyundai. It's the new Tiburon high-end trim package basically.
