If you do a search, you'll find several threads about removing the emblems. In a nut shell - use a hair dryer to heat the area up and the emblems come off fairly easily.

Good luck.

You can also use fishing line and work it underneath the emblem to help release the adhesive after heating the area..

Dental floss takes 30 seconds, no need for a hair dryer or heating the paint.

i yanked the rear trunk lid off- it was too hard to clean around, and it trapped dirt and looked yellow all the time.
