$250+ for new emblems was just not a priority for the customer any longer, and the condition of the emblems would not have allowed for removal and reinstallation of them. The alternative was clean them up and touch them up with paint.

Okay, here's the very best solution of all:

Use some professional grade Decal Remover and a hard rubber spatula (so as not to scratch the paint) to only remove the "3" and the "dot" characters from each side fender, leaving the "5L" remaining in place (then it will be quickly finished to perfection without spending an additional $250). Having only the "5L" will be sufficient.

What about just swapping the 5 and the 3? Since that's the actual size, right?

Nope, it won't work. If you go back and re-read AutoPro's post #203 above, they basically stated that the removal and reinstallation of the same old number emblems are much too deteriorated for successful reapplication and would not likely re-stick once removed. Brand new emblem sets cost $250 and that was the reason they were not ordered by the customer/VX owner.

Consequently; to save spending $250 for a brand new set of emblems, the best solution is just to only remove the "3" and the "dot", while leaving the original "5L" remaining in place on each side fender. Ka-pisch???

Geez, what's all this talk of $250??? That's for a complete set of every decal/badge on the truck.
A brand new 3.5L badge from Isuzu is only $14.80 each.

That's a good one Jo! Let's hope none of our parts end up made of that!
