PopolZ Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Can the SHO C-pillar badge be removed??? I've looked through the service manual on motorcraftservice and there's no information about it. I'm wondering if it's only held there with adhesive or if there's any kind of alignment hole behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 It can be removed. I believe it's held in place with flat tabs, all around the outer perimeter / edges, as well as adhesive. What are you looking to do? To install Non-SHO one's? Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'd have to take a closer look at it, but I believe you're gonna have to replace that entire triangular piece in order to remove just the SHO lettering itself. I don't think the SHO lettering is separate, but it may be. Even if it is, because it's plastic, you may not like the appearance underneath if you are able to remove the letters separately (as it may be scratched etc.) Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I just want to remove the SHO badges from my car. I like the idea . You need to change your screen name to "Sleeper". There is nothing for me to remove from my car except a 1 1/2 inch innocuous black Ecoboost badge on the rear deck lid. I Haven't bothered to remove it because you can barely see it and even most proclaimed "car guys" don't have a clue what that really indicates. I have not met anybody (except folks on these forums of course) who knew, before I told them, that the MKS Eco has the same powertrain as the SHO. Everybody LOVES the SHO and the MKS is just completely off the radar. If I had an SHO, I might consider your debadging approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblues38 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The ECOBoost badge is my next prjoect. I have already removed the TAURAUS from the back. The ECOBoost is so ugly. Green leaf...I am no tree hugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The ECOBoost badge is my next prjoect. The ECOBoost is so ugly. Green leaf...I am no tree hugger. I guess, "To each their own"....I really like the Ecoboost badge and the color it adds, so much so that I added the Livernois badge because it compliments the Ecoboost so nicely!

j1mmyr1chter Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The pillar SHO is separate from the black cover. I know this because I can see leftover adhesive around the edges where my painter glued it back on after painting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tss Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't like the SHO Ecoboost badge with the green. I like the black ecoboost badge Ford put on the MKS better, personally. Just my opinion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The C pillar SHO is separate from the black cover. I know this because I can see leftover adhesive around the edges where my painter glued it back on after painting it. Yep, I meant to post up this morning, after getting home form work, but damn I was tired as all hell. I did take a closer look at it, and it appears those SHO letters are in fact separate from the cover itself. A heat gun, on a relatively low setting, along with some fishing line, or perhaps a plastic putty knife oughta do the trick in "lifting" them off from the black base of the cover itself. Heat's important cuz it'll help in softening up that adhesive so your less likely to mar, or damage/scratch that plastic under surface. Good luck :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhenne4 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 When I debaged the SHO I let it sit in the sun all day and just used fishing line to "floss" the badges off right before it got dark. I have a healthy fear of heat guns and effects on paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a healthy fear of heat guns and effects on paint. Me too, that's why I chose to use Fire Line and work with Bug and Tar Remover to get the residue off...I know that I tend to get carried away when using any kind of power tools, so I left the heat gun in the tool cabinet! Although I didn't remove the letters, just rearranged them. Again, thanks to bpd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmilton Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I was curious about the C-pillar logo myself, and found this thread. Can y'all who've removed these small emblems post up pix of how it looks now? I just want to make sure there's no pin-locating holes, or indentions in the underlying black plastic.

SD13SHO Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 In lieu of a heat gun, use a hair dryer. Works just as well, and you don't have to worry about ruining the paint. I have used it to remove emblems and to install dash panels, and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Or if you want you can just plastidip the SHO lettering and you will still be able to see it, but it won't drag attention. Here is how it looks with plastidip:[ATTACH]1783[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
