Nice job on the calipers. Amazing what a little paint can do for the wheel area.

Ok, as far as the badges: Heat em up with a hair dryer, and (carefully) get a fingernail under the edge of the badge. Slowly pull up on the badge, and maybe squirt a bit of WD40 in there. The heat will loosen the glue that holds the badge on, and once it starts to lift, it should come off easy.
And as far as the rear vents??? You're not talking about the stick on ones, are you???? ACK!!!! x2!!!! lol
The same method!
Too bad you're not any closer (NJ), I'd help you put real ones on. It's a fun afternoon job!
Best of luck with your ride!
