I own a neptune 03 base vibe and had no problem debadging what-so-ever. It was the first thing i have done "aftermarket" too it, and by far probably the easiest. heres what i did:1. Heated badge about 30 seconds at a distance of abotu 1-2 inches2. I then peeled the small pontaic logo on the back of with my fingers, and partially pried off the vibe logo with my fingers and small wire, the "e" came of with out the need for fishing line.3. After that i managed to peel off the nasty sticky stuff by "rolling" it.4. Then, used wndex and an old soft sock to get the nasty residue off ( the sock works good b/c it has better "gription" 5. lastly i waxed the spots and then polished them off with a microfiber cloth, no harm to the paint or cloudiness at all

You know I used the swirl x from meguiers on the highlander and it is a dark blue like your vibe and it worked pretty damn good. Not a 100% but way better than before. I used the clay bar first then the swirl x and then waxed it with nxt tech wax. I will try and get some pics up car is out of town.
