use dental floss behind the emblem and wd40 to remove all the gunk left behind after the emblem is gone

Hair dryer to remove anything attached to the paint. That's how I got my chrome ones on there. Just heat it up nice and good and then pull it right off. You can do your side moldings too while you're at it.

Thanks guys. I'll just combine them and use the hairdryer to heat'em up, then the dental floss to peel'em off. WD40? Excellent. Got some ready to go. Pooper, might I say that is a very impressive mods list you have there. Just checked it out this am. Wish I had the funds to mod mine out like that!

Yeah, instead of dental floss, I used braided fish line- same thing- just saw between the emblem and the painted surface

AND....it worked like a charm. I couldn't believe just how easy it was to "peel" them off w/ dental floss and a little heat. I ended up having to use rubbing alcohol to get all the adhesive off. But, it worked well. Thanks again, guys.
