u guys are over thinking this, heat gun or hairdryer and fishing line or you can just peel with your hand like i ve done to many cars in a parking lot. but since its cold i suggest a hairdryer

I was able to pick them off easily and then used some NuFinish Scratch Doctor to get any remaining glue off. Took about 15 minutes if that.

Hair dryer, and GooGone or Fishing line and GooGone. FYI, fishing line method: grab at least a 2 foot section, one end in each hand then proceed to star at one side of emblem and in a sawing motion, cut the emblem away from the car. The clean up the rest with GooGone or some other form of adheasive remover.

yeah seriously...you guys are going wayyyy overboard with this. I actually used my fingers to peel it off and then used some goo-gone to take off the glue stains.

thats it.

took about 5 minutes to peel them off before using goo-gone

Soapy water and your finger nails! Did it to mine and then cleaned excess glush with the soapy water and a bug scraper!
