use paint stripper. j/k.
no seriously.. use a heat gun, warm it up and peel. the one i had was just a sticker.. hmm.. maybe yours is different.

theres a posibility that your decal could have been painted over with clear coat.....maybe the car had damage repaired in the rear section of your car and the shop recleared that area.

TRue, repaint,
If it is not under the clear, brake fluid, then some alcohol to get the brake fluid off,
It works...

is the "CX" a badge? if so, again heat it up to loosen the glue, and use thick dental floss -- the generic cheap kind -- to get it off. fishing line works well, too.

for 96+ i believe it's a raised emblem. just warm it up with a heat gun, use some fish wire get it behind those letters, and peel em off. get some goo gone to remove residue.

Yeah, I took a closer look at it and it is under clear coat....damn.....what if i took a sharp tool and cut around the edges where its sealed in clear coat and then peeled it off...maybe I could touch it up with touchup paint...I'm not tryin to be ghetto but repainting that will cost a lot.......
