get dental floss and pull the them off with that..

it cuts through the tape.

they are just two way tape and some have little plastic prongs.. realy cant go wrong, if you take your time

d00d if your gonna just paint them, why don't you just mask around those two emblems, I bet its gonna be a bitch and a half to line them up perfectly later.

the H is a different story cuz you got the prongs on the back and it only goes on one way.

dude...once theyre off, they aint goin back on unless u put new epoxy on them....which is a bitch....just get some gunmetal colored ones of ebay or something.....and the best way is to heat it up w/ a hair dryer and then just pull it off, then use goo-gone or your nail (if ur lazy) to peel off the glue residue....i did it to mine, and u cant tell there way ever an emblem there

Take them off using the floss method described earlier. There are two hole that line the emblem up so you really can't put it on wrong. Just get all of the old double stick tape off of the emblem and car and use new (good quality) double stick tape...
