Whats behind the "LINCOLN" & "LS" emblems....

[ldc]

I want to remove the "Lincoln", "LS" and "V8" emblems on the rear of my car, are there any holes behind them? I hate the gunk that builds up around them, and it makes that area so hard to wash also. With time it starts to look crappy. Anyone done this?

thanks

Yes - I have pulled mine off a few times - swapped my 01 all red taillamp for clear/red ones of the 01 Japense LS. The lettering is only held on with 3M double-sided tape - about 1/8" thick. - come right off and cleans up with 'Goo-be-gone'.

BTW: if you change you mine later - you can by the letter - pre-taped - for $25 for both the 'lincoln' and 'LS V8'

I saw a Navagator and they had the V8's on the front side, I was thinking of maybe putting some V8's there. Didn't the older or maybe V6's have chrome LS's or somthing there? Wonder why they stopped?

alot of LS owners did this using the Navagator emblem

here's an old e-bay listing:

Yes - the 00-01 had an 'LS' on the fender door ridge molding

If you mean that little trim piece behind the front wheel, it's dissappearance is called de-contenting. It was eliminated in 2002.

"Goo-Gone" should get ride of the adhesive easily.

If your're not into removiving the lettering do like i do. Get a clean or new paint brush to remove buildup. Works great on my LS and my Navi :headbang:
