Super Glued Front Cf Emblem!!! Remove Super Glue???

Okay i messed up, i bought a carbon fiber front mitsu emblem and i wasnt suppose to take the stock front emblem off, but i did and then i tried putting this cf emblem where the stock emblem went. the problem is it didnt fit right, i mean it is the right size but the corners of the emblem are sticking out, so like the middle of it is glued on there and the corners/diamonds are popped out and it looks 3d and very ugly. and the thing i needed help with is when i superglued it in there some of the glue dripped down the front bumper and i tried geting it off asap but didnt work. so what i need to know is what will get off superglue, i know it probly has to be something bery high concentrated and strong, but i just dont know what. I know i messed up but please take this thread seiriously and help me out, id really apreciate it.

Acetone is the only thing I know of that can break down and remove super glue. But you have to be very careful about it eating away on any coatings on your carbonfiber. I would have some water on hand and wipe off any remaining acetone ASAP. Your doing this at your own risk and if you don't feel confident enough, don't do it.

Not to be a smartass, but super glue remover will remove super glue. That's what it's called. "Super glue remover" Other than that, be careful what you use. You'll eat that clear coat off the carbon fiber.

Lol, there's another way of doing it. But you'll probably find out that it's main ingredient is acetone.

anything that will take off super glue will also take off the clear coat. GL

Is the emblem plastic? If so, maybe you could heat gun that puppy and seat it properly.
