my car is back, and my world is totally out of balance!
i now have one of those stupid looking new shiny/skinny TT badges, instead of the brushed look of the original fat TT emblem. ARGH. AND, they put both of my badges on the left side, which is just hideous looking. time for me to finally debadge it- going to leave just the rings.
i assume that dental floss is still the preferred method of removal? any special tips or tricks?
also- my gas cap button doesn't work. i tried searching the archives and found some door unlock/lock procedures that were supposed to re-enable it, but it doesn't seem to work for me. are there any foolproof methods for this? if not, i have to take it back into the shop and get it fixed. obviously i can just do the manual cable release, but i want my button to work again.
the paint work is top notch, though. i'm very impressed with the job these guys did- i'm not a paint expert by any means, but it looks flawless to me. i'm almost scared to drive it now... my front end, and roof, are pristine. i had some chips/nicks from 92K miles of driving and they were all taken care of... it looks amazing. props to Frank @ Neat Street Autobody II. top notch work.

nice kurt.....>>>
floss and some standard adhesive remover works good for badge removal, and personally i think debadged is best...
On the gas cap...could be just an electrical connection....seeing as where you were, that would be my first thought...
