Hairdryer and, if necessary, a length of fishing line to 'saw' it off - no screws or hidden fasteners, and no alignment pins like the front one.

Make sure that you warm the emblem up enough so that the adhesive don't wreck the paint.

Ohhhh yeaaaaaaaaa!! Here is a link that will get you started!!
Make sure that you get the trunk and emblem nice and warm. With some stout fishing line, seterate the emblem from the adhesive. Do not try to seperate the adhesive from the trunk!! The adhesive has grit, dirt and trash ebbeded in it. If you drag the fishing line against the trunk it might scratch the paint.
Once you get the flags on both sides loose, just slowly peal the rest of the emblem off. I used my fingers to roll most of the excess glue off the trunk. Keep the glue warm!! When you get most of it off you can use Gooe B Gone to help get the adhesive off. I used PB Blaster! The stuff is amazing!! It will NOT harm the paint and made short work of the stickey!
Then polish off the area. Use medium compound to smooth off the area, then clay bar the area, them use wax. It will look very COOL!

That's the way. Best of luck getting it off.
