you can just use dental floss. after you get the emblem off, use gum & adhesive remover to get the remaining glue residue off of the car...

make sure what ever goo remover you use is NON ABRAISIVE!

the JDM emblem lines up with the rear hatch and, well, you will see

Default Just use some WD40

I peeled the emblem off with my fingers . I sprayed the left over glue and
let it soak and then wipe it off. Repeat the process until glue is gone. It didn't leave one scratch. Also have a papertowel handy don't let the WD40 drip under the trunk.

lol had I not read this I probably would have done the EXACT same thing.

Hell I didn't even catch it when the guy above said it lines up, only after you said "the blue padding lined up".

Lol yay for reading before you try something huh!

it will be clear to you once you get it. The blue padding lines up with the left bottom corner of the hatch.
