Default Z Fender Emblem Removal

What is the Z emblem on the front fenders held on with? Double face tape or maybe a nut on the back side?

I think it's glue. Should come off with a little heat and fishing line / dental floss.
However, there is a depression in the fender that the emblem sits in.

I removed the one on the rear hatch to install my Stillen Type 1 wing.
I was only looking to temporarily remove fender emblems while buffing the car in prep. for car show this weekend.Ended up just working around them but I did get a little polish behind the emblems I'll have to try to clean out with with a soft brush.

Recommend getting a reputable shop to remove/fill the fender emblems. There is an indention and 2 holes.

Love the clean look afterward though.

I suppose it does a bit.

I figured I'd shave them since the aerosync bumper on the front has no emblem, and my Stillen wing required removing the rear emblems. I decided to just go all out I guess..
