It is most likely held on by an adhesive. What is the size of the "L"?

I'm not too sure but I would start by using floss to take it off and watch for little pegs on the back.

While the engine is warm, take a piece of fishing line and try sliding it back and forth between the backside of the emblem and your engine cover. You should be able to remove it pretty simply this way. Take some bug and tar remover and clean up the left over adhesive. I'd check with Sewell for replacement emblems. They usually have small stuff like this in stock.

No adhesive. Its small pegs located randomly. If you remove it, there's gonna be holes on that square piece the emblem is on.

the L is about 3/8 of an inch.

so the square plate which the emblems are on are is connected by adhesive and the emblems itself has little pegs?

I'll check if they have them on stock also. It would be easier to just use plastidip, but I like chrome finishing a bit better.
