I dunno about the floss and stuff for taking it off, but there will be some discoloration. your car is at least 3 years old. That age on the paint starts to change it a little. If its newish then the difference won't be too bad. but if your car is old then it might look sorta ugly.

I did it on my 94 Integra GS-R back when it had about 147k miles on it. Blow dryer to heat it up, and slowly moving the floss underneath it removed it without a problem. Just use some polish and then wax where it was, you wouldn't even know it use to be there.

depends how old is your car and how you take care of it. when someone STOLE my badge there was no color differance because it was fairly new, it was at 38k.
