Use you fingernail to lift an edge to get it started. Slowly pull it off. Use Goo-Gone to remove any residue that is left behind on the paint. Wash then wax.

Hair dryer! Warm them up, peel them off.

I used some dental floss (in a saw motion) and goo gone and it came off really easy...the hair dryer really helps too

I use the dental floss method on badges as they are usually mounted with double stick tape. There's enough space to get the floss under the badge to cut through the DS tape.

which badges on the car are actually mounted on meaning if you remove them you will have holes on the car from where they sit?

I believe the Nissan badge on the rear hatch has a hole under it, but I'm not sure if that is true for all model years.

I knew the 03s had them but I though a question arose with the 04s or the 04.5s as to whether there were holes or not.
