How to remove logo from inlet without damaging silicone?
I'm trying to up the stealth factor of my engine bay. I currently have all black inlet and after-MAF hoses but the bright white "Gimmick" logos bug me. I was wondering if anyone knew of a chemical product that would be effective in removing these logos (maybe like goo-gone, but stronger?), without potentially damaging the silicone inlet. If nothing else, I'll probably just throw on an extra hose clamp to cover it up.
On a side note: I need to plug up one of the vacuum outlets on the inlet to get my MBC set up, and I'm trying to figure out the least ghetto-looking fix for this. Anyone have any clever ideas to this extent?
(I swapped the blue IC hoses for black ones, if you even noticed those in there.)

It's pure silicone. I wrapped mine over the logo. Looks just like the rest of the inlet. A lot easier to do pre intsall though.
Comes in different colors. I had a bag of different colors lying around because my mom likes to buy my brother and I weird stuff we'll never use for Christmas.
Take that, mom, I found a use for this one. Only took 3 years to find a use for it.

Just make it long enough to go somewhere nobody looks and tuck it away. Since it goes to the BCS normally, pop the end off the BCS and plug it there instead of plugging at the inlet. It'll look 100% stock
