Debadging fox body question

[phillysrt4]

Whats the cleanest way to remove the 5.0 badge on a fox?

It's not going to have a 5 liter anyway so its kind of ricey to leave it on.

If possible, a non-destructive way would be nice since they are original badges.

Thanks.

heat and putty knife. also maybe some adhesive remover.

i have used a hair dryer and putty knife

how bad does it get scratched up using the putty knife?

[J-rod]

not if you take your time and get the adhesive hot

heat gun preferably (blow dryer will work too). the badge should come right off with some heat. Let the heat do the work and carefully peel/pull the badge off (take your time). I prefer to use cleaner wax to remove any residual residue from the badge. Cleaner wax has always worked better for me as compared to bug and tar remover or goo gone.


It'll be hot but you should be able to peel it off by hand or with a pair of pliers if necessary.

put a 3.8 badge on there

I was thinking about it, but I dont know if its rice or not.

87-93 never had a 3.8, but since thats whats in there I guess it wouldnt be rice.

use a plastic putty spreader and heat wipe down with cleaner when done
