Default Badge Removal

The wife and I recently bought a C5, and we love it. The only problem I have are the 50th anniversary badges on the sides. Does anyone know how to remove the badges without ruining the paint? I do not know why the previous owner thought fake badges were a good idea.

Usually dental floss or really thin fishing line.

We used dental floss on mine, but I was repainting. I think you could easily use that if you were careful.
