Anyone remove the "EQUUS" lettering

[T_E]

Quick question-has anyone removed the "Equus" lettering off the LH side of the trunk?

I think the letters are just glued on and would be easy to remove.

Thx

Sounds like badging the Genesis with wings. warm it up and get some dental floss........slowly saw it off, clean up any glue left on car.

And, if you decide to put it on later, what adhesive should be used to reinstall? Or, I suppose you could order a fresh set off of ebay....about $20.

Park in the sun, use some fishing line, and it will come right off. If you want to reinstall, just orders new ones. The new ones will come in a foam stencil for proper spacing and alignment so you can't mess up.

A little heat from a hair dryer will help as well. GooGone pretty good, also rubbing alcohol for removing residual adhesive.

Still contemplating their removal...

Why remove it? Adds to the "mystery" as to what it is!!

What are you doing with the flying H on the trunk?

The flying / lazy H on the trunk had been replaced before I bought it.

I decided to leave the EQUUS lettering intact and add the VS500 to the RH side.

Getting a lot of looks and questions as to what the heck this car is....."how do you pronounce it??" LOL

I enhanced my '65 XKE with it.

Good move, Sandy. I recall you are an expert in up-selling.

Do you want fries and a drink with your burger?

Report for re-training. It's super-size fries and super size drink.
