Default Aristo Eblem installation

I am thinking of buying the aristo emblem and replace it with my gs300 emblem. My question is how do i go upon of removing original emblem and put on new emblem. Should new emblem have a sticker in the back? Are there holes in back of the gs300 emblem. Thankds

also i have cleared my front signals and was wondering whether this would fit:

You can use dental floss to remove the emblem, and yes the new one will have sticky tape in its back.

Use a heat gun or blow dryer. Then use either dental floss or thin fishing line to remove.. make sure the tape underneath is nice and hot.

As other have said, dental floss or fishing line. When doing it, just take your time and don't rush it. Follow up with your thumb and goo gone to remove all traces of the adhesive.
Tip: before removing the GS 300 badge, use painter's tape to mark the top edge of the lettering. When you put on the Aristo badge, you have a guide to use to line up the new one.
