Default Easy way to remove S2000 emblems? [Picture pg.2]

I bought some black chrome emblems, and I would like to get the factory ones off, w/o scratching the paint/etc obviously.

Any easy tips/hints/advice anyone would care to share?

Thanks in advance.

not a problem... yeah its a pita, but it works... the hardest part is taking the double faced tape off... the emblems come off pretty easy... but u have to let the goo-gone soak into the tape... then take it off with a microfiber cloth... since ur replacing yours, i would tape off where the original ones were so that you can accurately place the new ones... also, clean the area really good so that the new emblems stick... good look and post pics...

I'll snap some pics.

They arrived today, I'll get some up this weekend or when the rain freakin stops

I pulled my stock h's off by hand, but these s2000 ones seem to be stuck on there really good.

I bought those black chrome ones from HTG a couple of years back and really like them.

I used some painter's tape to mask an outline of where the stock emblems are so I didn't muff up the placement of the new ones.

Good luck! can't wait to see your results.

Bauley...

what Mugen emblems are you referring to?

hair dryer or let it sit in the son and peel, if you want to keep the old ones in good shape use fishing line or something...
if you dont car, just pull them off

Used fishing line to remove the emblem and then used a 3M wheel eraser to remove the sticky tape

Well, I took before pictures, I'll post them all when I get the afters taken.

The hair dryer and fishing line worked like $$, but the old glue/tape looks to be FREAKING impossible to get off there...go gone won't even touch it...

Any ideas???????????

It doesn't damage the paint does it?

Also, where did you get it?
