Default Badges..... How to remove them?

Major question.........I have a 98 gs 400 and want to remove the 2 badges on the rear decklid ( GS 400 & Lexus). What is the best way to do that and are there holes in the decklid that will need to be filled and painted. I also assume the lexus emblem in the center of the decklid is attached with holes as well. Can anyone help me with their advise.....mucho thanks....

get some Goof Off, and a strong thread or string, or a floss like type, and dap some goof off on the 3m adheasive bedhind the badging let it sit and soak for awhile then use the floss or string and slide it through the 3m adhesive behind it'll cut right through w/o damaging your body paint thats how i did mines then just gently rub the rest of the sticky stuff out with a terry towel with some goof off from there. mines came out perfect when i did this !

Heat gun (be careful ) on low or hairdryer to warm up the adhesive, then fishing line. Goof off/Goo Gone/adhesive remover to remove the remaining residue.
