    just get a blow dryer, get the letters hot, then use some fishing line and get the letters off. then put lots of wd40 on the goo thats left over and use a credit card to scrape it off layer by layer. Just remember to keep soaking the goo with wd40. after you are done, make sure to wash everything off and wax it.

    I found that heat and not chemicals/scraping worked the best for me....tried both....I wish I would have stuck to using heat....

    Totally unrelated but: I once removed one of those Warning-you-must-wear-a-helmet labels from a motorcycle using nothing but my thumbnail!

    It really hurt but at least I didn't scratch the paint.

    Goo gone works wonders for sticky residue. I was thinking about removing the badging to spray them gold to match the wheels, or just putting the "no cone" image in the middle.

    +1 Blow Dryer and Dental Floss, Little WD40 possibly to remove excess Adhesive once the Emblems are removed. Max sure to wax the area that you put WD40 on. Will probably want to wax the entire trunk.
