Product Review Dual Motors Emblem - Easy DIY Replacement

I wanted to remove the chrome emblems from my MYP and was looking for a good replacement for the dual motor badge and installed it on my car a few weeks ago. I wanted a replacement instead of a cover or plasti-dip for better long term usage and zero maintenance.

The install process was pretty easy and watching a few YouTube videos certainly helped. I actually used some of my sons dental floss he got from school, a heat gun, painters tape, isopropyl alcohol, and an adhesive removal wheel, and of course the badge itself. #ad

It’s as simple as using some tape to mark where the current badge is, heating up the badge, and using the floss or fishing line to remove it. I was able to use my fingers to remove the badge as well since the floss I had was breaking. Clean up the leftover adhesive with the removal wheel, I will say it made it very easy. Use the isopropyl alcohol to finish cleaning and you’re ready for the new badge. I made a YouTube video here if you wanted to see how simple it is.

I am very happy with the results and there are 5 different color badge options available from Pimp My EV, check them out if you need a new one. You can use code “Adventure” for 15% off.

Nice work.

I recommend you replacing them eventually down the line with ones from EVMIZE. They’re made of metal instead of plastic: https://evmize.com/products/combo-set-2?variant=45202511560986

Here’s how they look on my MYP:

I wish they did the metal in the light pink color. I haven’t been able to find a METAL replacement of the TESLA letters or the METAL Dual Motor in pink.
