    Rebadging gone bad - any tips?

    My friend was rebadging his car (IS300 - ALTEZZA for anyone that's wondering). He was at my place, the debadging and stuff went well...and then when we put the altezza badge on there, it was fine, until a day or so later he realized that it was actually crooked...I mean, noticeably crooked. Is there any way to fix that without actually debadging the entire thing?

    I think that's the only way to do it unless you heat it up and make it straight, but I think that would leave some of the adheasive.

    lol that damn badge costed him a pretty penny...and i don't know if he can get another one, so i want to try and save him with the least effort as possible...i guess blow-dry-and-nudge is the way to go. I'll give that a shot sometime then. Thanks.

    Just remove the badge and the double sided tape from it, and buy come emlem tape. They make a sheet of it. Just cut it out to fit. I did that when I put a set of used 03 Corolla bades on my car a while back.
