heat it with a heatgun\hair dryer

dont hold it for long, but then use dental floss behind it. the glue slowly comes off with the heat.

there are little pegs in the emblems, so you will hit them.

similar question. what do i use to put the emblems back on?

my trunk L emblem is half peeling off. anything i can use on it that wont completely rip off the paint if i ever do decide to take it off?

I dont mind fake ebay emblems plastic is plastic. but i hear theyre not true OEM size.

I had a hard time with it. I used a fishing line and worked absolutely perfect.

Overall, its not that hard to do the process, you just have to be careful.
