Scratches and emblem glue

JonJon · Sep 25, 2003

Two nights ago my car got attacked and the emblems torn off. There are some pretty deep scratches and lots of glue left over. 1 emblem was only half torn off so I pushed it back against the car but I'm going to replace it. The emblem that is left the scratched are harder to see, but it's at the top, by the 3 colored bars.

I went to my car this morning and it looks like last nite they ripped off my pony (grille delete) Damn school parking lots They used quite a bit of force to get the pony off, you can see how much they had to bend the metal.

How should I fill up the scratches by the emblems? Is there an easy way to get the adhesive off?

Thanks. Oh, and where can I get new 35th side emblems?

Try using some 3M or Meguiars scratch remover and see if that helps get the scratches out. If that doesnt work, it will take sanding and painting you fenders to get it out. Im not too sure where to buy the new emblems. Here are some sites that might carry them. Sorry to hear about your car man and best of luck to you.

www.everythingmustang.com
www.muskatracing.com
www.laurelmountainmustang.com
www.uprproducts.com
www.stangstore.com
www.gefracing.com
www.partshopper.com

You can also try ordering them through your local Ford dealership.

EDIT: I added some sites and if you can use meguiars paint cleaner or a claybar system to get the glue off.

wd-40 for the glue maybe some touch up paint for the scratches?

wow.. that makes me wanna cry..

Sorry to hear about the vandalism.

I don’t have any advice for the scratches.

For adhesive, I have read of people using WD40 but I have personally used Bestine’s adhesive remover, available at arts and craft stores. I works great and leaves no residue to clean up. I have removed adhesive from emblems and factory vinyl graphics on five vehicles and never had a problem.

Hey, once you get it fixed up me and my crowbar would be glad to level some justice on these retards.

jeez jonjon who did you piss off? you need to invest in an alarm because this is twice now that this has happened. Does this happen to anyone elses cars there or just yours?

GinoGT · Sep 25, 2003

Forget alarms, you just need some of this:

Damn jonjon I feel for ya... god help the soul of the person I catch doing this to my car. For the 35th emblems I got a replacement one from the dealership it was $65 dollars they had to special order it since they didn't carry it in stock took a few weeks.

Hope that helps good luck finding the pricks that did this.

That Sux.

Yes, regular WD-40 works well.
With the deep scratches:
Do a few coats of touch up paint until the surface is raised, wetsand with 2000 grit sand paper, then rubbing compound, then polishing compound, then wax.

JonJon · Sep 25, 2003

No idea who did it since I really doubt I have enemies. Maybe people got annoyed of my Packs? They're not THAT loud I live in ghetto rice country, bumble bee's all around. I coulda pissed one of them off while cruising around.

My sister told me to get an alarm too, but all I think it does is piss people off and want to smash my car more

I'll give the WD-40 a try, thanks. Wet sanding my car sounds a little too stressful to me, maybe I'll just live with ugly touched up fenders

Thanks everyone

I got my 35th aniv. emblems from my local Ford dealer a few years back for another stang.

JonJon · Sep 25, 2003

fordpartsnetwork.com has the emblems for $10 a piece and $18 for the Mach 1 pony.

But I'm thinking I don't want to put them while I'm at school. Will it be bad to leave those holes in the fender open? Does it matter if water gets in? Or should I plug them with something?

I'd plug 'em. Just to be safe.

We, here at stangnet need to start and " protection plan " for members. Since were all located all over the USA and even Canada, we can use our reach through each other. When someone makes a hit on one of our members cars, the surrounding and closest 20 members should be dispatched to the area and begin the search. When we find them, they will never be seen again.

Those bastards. There is a slight possibility that it could be the packs, or possibly that Mustangs are a minority where you currently live....so they're not accepted.

Goo Gone may help remove the glue, but I don't know?

I goto school in rice country... Lowell, MA.
There are a few v6 Stangs, a GT or two, and a Camaro or two. But mostly rice rockets. Very sad.

Dont feel bad. Someone scratched the hell out of my car about 4 months after I got it. Looked like Freddy Kruger attacked my passengers side door or something. Anyways, I have tons of ricers where I live too. About every 5 minutes I'll be setting in the living room watching TV and I can hear a fart can roll up the street. I swear, they'll even go slow by my house cause theres two GTs parked here. My brothers and mine. What can I say. Jealousy is jealousy.
