I can't remember. I have done it in the past with a hairdryer, I think. Do I use a plastic scraper or something to get the dealership emblem off? Do you just peel them off? Someone please help! I would like to get them off today sometime. Can't decided if I should take them all off or lave the focus ST part on, or just leave the ST part on....

For the vinyl dealer stickers, a bit of heat, a fingernail and either a claybar or some goo-gone does wonders. For the badges and emblems, take some dental floss to cut the badge away, then work on getting the adhesive off.
I'd recommend against a razor blade unless you like scratches....

I ended up using my fingernails and heat for the dealership sticker. It came right off. Then I took off the ZX4 emblem with an old credit card and heat. That worked okay...but the gunk underneath took forever to get off. I haven't decided yet if I want to remove the focus or the ST emblems. We'll see. What do most people do? Take them all off?

I vote leave the ST.
Make sure you give a good coat of wax/polish after using goo-gone or claybar.

Take it all off. It looks much better. I wanted to leave the ST on it but it looked funny

Probably a stupid question, but I am ignorant to all the mod possibilities. Did you paint your springs red, or are those after market springs? Do people paint other parts of the car besides calipers?

relocate the ST badge to under the plate. or get a decal. it's an ST, you should be proud and show it off.

o2designs,
I see you have the sway bar/suspension kit I am thinking about purchasing either from steeda, steve or ebay. After you had the kit installed, did it make a huge difference? What were the changes? Was it worth the money to make the change?
