ya maybe if that credit card isnt in service :D . but nething to that nature would work... i used a plastic razor blade then once i got them off i used GOO GONE to get the glue off.

yea the credit card won't work. A plastic razor will work without cutting the paint and yes GO GONE!!! That $hit is one of the best products on the market. just be careful of how much you use, once its all off give the spot a nice polish and wax. If it gets stuck, use a hair drier to soften the adhesive.

thanks, i guess ill have to look for that "plastic" razor!

Get the badge heated up such as leaving your car in the sun for a bit or use a strong hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the adhesive also you can use anything plastic to get under there I wouldnt use a card you need something a bit stronger like maybe a old plastic spatula (sp) or something like that and just gently work it off and then like they said use some GOO GONE which is usually at any auto parts store, Kmart, or walmart and then just wash it off really well and wax it and your set. Hope we could help

great help guys. i went to a store and bought a plastic 1 1/2 inch putty knife (plastic). worked perfect with its edge. just forced it behind there and pushed down slowly. worked around the thing and it popped it fairly easily without heating it up (i heated up my stripes to get them off). i used goo gone after and after some rubbing it is gone! I need to buff it out i think as you can see faintly the 5.0 still. could be the paint faded around it though. either way, i like the looks of my sleeper now! except my license plate reads: 2FST2PAS

maybe they wont notice!

Like the plate been wanting to get one myself once I drop the 347 in it I was thinking slow50 or I1I1I1 ( i won.....) what do you guys think?

It must be nice to be able to use 8 characters on your plate. We can only use 6 with a space. 7 is not an option either. But I love the plate. I was thinking of getting this for my car Z28ETR. But I want to keep the sleeper look too, so I probably won't do it. I like slow50, that adds to the sleeper thing.

i saw a vette on line that had this plate.

Slow 5.0 for a sleeper... sick... Its always great when you smoke someone without them knowing what you have... keeps them guessin.

jimdrechsler 08-15-2004 07:53 PM

hey 88 five pointoh; i noticed you are in rochester, is this newyork? im in fairport.

i thought about getting either "sleeper", or "sleepr", before settling on "5oh2go"
