Depends on how the previous owner took care of the car. If it was garaged and the miles are low, you can probably get away with it. If the car was always outside in the elements, then you may be out of luck.

Mine was removed after 4 years of driving and after a summer outside, the shadow faded and is not visable anymore...

Even if the car is garaged and taken care of, after debadging, you can still have a silhouette.
Although washing it thoroughly might get most of it off, at the right angle and correct lighting, you can probably still see it.

The best way to permanently remove the silhouette is to polish it out with a buffer.
You can ask a local detailer with a good buffer, pads, and polishes to buff just your trunk.
Shouldn't cost much if you just get the trunk done.

I've buffed out my own debadging silhouette and a lot of other people's debadging fails.
Even years after debadging and washing, I could still see their silhouette in proper lighting.
After I buffed it out, you can't see anything.

Mines an 04 and i debadged it in 09. There was a slight shadow even after polishing. Only noticeable up close so it doesnt bother me.

Debage the rear and no shadow for me, I removed the pin stripe and polished it and there is still an outline, though its not very visible unless you look for it and in direct sunlight.

Thank You for everyone input. I currently have 2005 debadged with a wing trunk and are planing to swap with a person who have 2003 wingless. Kind of worry on the shadow since it is 2003. I will have the body shop polish it. Thanks again everyone.

Shouldn't be a problem if you buff it out really good.

you can always use goo remover the 1st time to help you remove most of it after wards you might have to use stronger stuff like soaps and paint repair liquid/s
