No holes. I debadged my Titanium the day I got it. 5 minutes, a hair dryer, and some fishing line = done. I will be keeping ST on mine but removing Focus day one.
My ST3 is going to be Race Red... the emblem is going to look fine on the front... but the rear is going to blend... I plan on changing the red inlay to black to make it pop more..
I will not remove them. I will however inform the dealer who sells me the car that if there is a dealer logo on the car that I will not accept delivery.
DAMN SKIPPY! I will be taking all the badges off of my car AND I will take the 'FORD' badges and recolor them as black and nickle. I am gonna see if I can get some made that are going to be a solid color like a gloss script on a matte background or just a solid color with no logo.
CHAD, I am SO with you about that tacky as heck dealership pimp sticker on the car///

Yes.......I plan on taking both mine off and getting ones with matte black instead of blue, and the writing the same white. Would look great on my white ST.
I will be purchasing a spare set of Focus and ST badges and I will be using Duplicolor Shadow to make all of the chrome on the badges black chrome to black out my black ST.
Fishing line is a little better since it won't break as easily as floss. If there's still some adhesive residue leftover then use some automotive Goo-Gone to get rid of it; auto Goo-Gone is safe on paint.
I rocked the license plate frame for a week, but I ripped that Focus emblem off before that. I hate that font, compared to the ST badge. I also want to paint the reflectors in the bumper white. Sleak it up a bit.
The Focus will come off. ST will stay. And the dealer plate frame will also come off should they put one on. They will first need to earn my support before I drive advertisement for them.
I even took the front ST emblem off (though there's the grill underneath the front ST emblem is solid, so you can see where it's "supposed" to be. But I do like the clean look all around.
I took the 'focus' badge off the back, left everything else in place. I used dental floss and it came off easily, leaving a bit of foam residue on the hatch. I rubbed most of it off with my fingers, then a cloth with a bit of WD-40 easily removed any remaining residue. I rinsed off the WD-40 with some water and everything looks perfect.
I removed the focus badge from the back as well. There was no dealership tag. I used a heatgun and some dental floss, was amazed it took less than 2 minutes to pull it off and wipe off the glue using the heatgun and a towel.
When I had the car detailed, I had the detailer remove the rear Focus badge. I will also be removing the ugly SYNC badge on the interior. I wish there was a way to get rid of that damn Sony logo too. I despise the Sony corporation, but Ford provided no choice for the entertainment system in the ST.
for the Sony logo, you can always try to remove the finish panel and put black electrical tape on the back side to cover up the led and should essentially make it dissappear.

I like the cleaner look. I removed the front ST badge too, however I will be nite-shading it and putting it back on.
I took off the front ST badge as well. The grill is slightly different underneath the front badge, so it bothers me a little bit. Would be interested to see how it looks once you get it back on.
