Fishing wire. GO back and forth but make sure you are pulling against the letters to avoiding scratching the paint. Then buff out the area where the letters were.

Dental floss works well. I heat them up with a hair dryer first.

I used goo gone and a plastic scraper to get the residue off. Use caution. It might be safer to use a hair dryer.

I found using a lot of soap and water to get off the residue to be benefital. Glue be gone works, and there is also something at the bodyshops that they use. You can ask a local one about it.

just heat it up with a hair dryer, and than use dental floss and go over it in the back, it's very easy.

Don't use a plastic scraper unless you want to buff scratches out. I tried it. I used a hair dryer + dental floss for the rest. fishing line sounds good too.

once the emblems are off, just heat up the goo with the dryer and "roll" the goo off with your thumb/finger.

Floss it and then do what everyone says. The members here are pros and are very knowledgable.

The badges fall off @ 170mph if you are modded enough to get there!

I just waited for a 90+ degree day and took off my "Lancer" badge with sewing thread. The foam backing rolled off easily after that. Dental floss would probably be slightly safer due to the wax coating. Super simple.
