1991 gt lift back rear mod question

hey guys i just joined the other day and i was wondering you know how between the two tail lights on the 91 gt liftback there is the red piece that says "Celica" on it i was wondering if its possible to remove that piece and if so how would i go about doing that?, im thinking of removing it to sand down the celica logo and paint it to match the rest of my car. i look forward to your replies thanks.

Re: 1991 gt lift back rear mod question

Its actually really easy to remove that part. start by removing the tail lights. If I remember correctly (its been a few years)
Tail lights removal.
pop off the corners and take out the screw.
there are a few tabs at the top of the tail lights you need to pop out and remove a screw or bolt.
remove the cover at the back and there are a few bolts to remove

from there you should be able to see all the hardware holding on the center piece

Re: 1991 gt lift back rear mod question

nice thanks for the advice, now when you say" pop off the corners" to take off the tailights do u mean open the trunk n pop off the corner panels inside or just pry the tail lights off? sorry if i sound like a noob this is my first car. and wht kind of paint should i use on that center piece? would it be ok to just use paint i would use on my car or should i usea special kid of paint?
