Default Remove 450h badge from tailgate?

Is it easy enough, without damaging the paint - to remove the 450h badge from tailgate?

Is it just stuck on from the factory ?

Edit:

I think some people here have stated that the rear hatch has holes for the Lexus and 450h badges..

Is that correct? Does anyone have pics of a de-badged tailgate ?

I know as a fact that the RX350 on mine are double sided taped.
Please check with the dealer parts department with the 450h though. Expensive item, don't wanna mess it up...
For safe removal. Clean the area and surroundings to avoid scratches from dirt rubbing during procedure. Heat the emblems up from it top with a heat gun/hair blow dryer. Get a fishing thread in between the emblem and paint. Using down and outward force, *****slowly***** pull off the emblems. Add heat as needed.
Clean up with adhesive remover.
Add a coat of your favorite wax.
Enjoy the stealth look.

You forgot one step, sell the 450h badge and then enjoy the stealth look with a few extra bucks in your pocket

Clean look, the way to go.

Hmm......gives me an idea, I'll take the 350 out and leave the RX letters.
