Front Empblem Removal
I bought the Courtesy Parts Z Emblems and want to install them but have no idea on how to remove the stock emblems.
I read somewhere that a hair dryer would do the trick but I have no outlet in my garage.
Are there any other ways?

what i did was soak the emblem in goo gone, and then heated it up for about a minute and then sawed it off with some fishing line (making sure to pull towards me to avoid the paint). when it gets to the point that you can't saw anymore just start over. then when you get it off you use a microfiber and the goo gone to get rid of the rest of the adhesive (sp?).
If you don't care about the old emblem, you can do what I did.
I stuck a small flat screwdriver downwards into the horizontal part of the emblem. Just enough so that the tip of the screwdriver was beneath the emblem. I then leveraged the emblem off by pushing the screwdriver forward (towards the car).
The tip of the screwdriver was under the emblem to pry it off. The upper part of the screwdriver laid against the top of the emblem as the anchor point.
Then get some goo-gone and get rid of the left over mounting tape.

ok, I just finished doing the front and rear emblems
I used Goo Gone and a plastic spatula. Getting the old emblem off was ultra easy but getting the old goo off, damn that took forever.
Also the rear emblem does not have the little bumps to fit the emblem right, that was a bit of a challenge.
It looks really cool
I'm happy
