    If so, how did you do it? Does it have the "alignment hole" behind it? (im not going to remove toyota emblem)
    I'm planning to use hairdryer and dental floss, then apply goo gone to remove the sticky residue.

    The backend badges minus the the cowboy hat badge are just glued on. Took me about 20mins during a downpour to remove the left & right side badges. The dental floss kept breaking (used the cheap stuff from the dentist loot bag). The leftover adhesive peeled right off, no goo-gone needed. I washed him and gave the badge spots a quick wax over. My Pc is 3 weeks old so no ghosting issues.

    Dont use goo gone, it strips the clear coat, just work it off with your fingers, and wax over and you should be fine

    The side badges have an alignment hole. Not sure about the front one; although you'll definitely have an indent where the cowboy hat used to sit.

    i messed up the side ones because of the holes. i will put some Hello Kitty stickers over the holes at some point. the rear tailgate without badges looks very nice though

    You might not want to remove the hybrid badges - they're not just there for marketing - they are there to let first responders know not to just cut into the car where there might be high voltage cables and dangerous batteries to try to rescue you. Hybrid cars require special procedures in an accident scene.

    Here's a PDF made for firefighters, there's an identification section concerning the hybrid badges.

    I don't see hybrid badge on Lexus ct, why should the lowered end car carry the burden?

    Hybrid badges are on the CT, they are on the lower rear of the car by the rear door I believe

    . Check ebay, I don't think they are very expensive, maybe 10 dollars each but not 100% sure
