Default Removing fake bolts

I have a set of Drag Dr20 and I'm itching to remove the fake bolts. I don't like them at all.

Has anybody ever done this? Or at least have an idea of how to do it? I searched the internet and can't find any results.

And is the spot that it sits/placed on flat or recessed?

Help would be appreciated!

So how'd did you take it off? Did you use a heat gun to soften up the adhesive or something?

There will be small pockets leftover from removal.

That was one of the answers I was looking for. The recess shouldn't be that deep right?

Without taking a dial caliper to it, I'd say its close to 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch.
