Default Removing emblems

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I got some custom emblems made for the sides and front and back of my z. My question is what's the easiest and safest way to remove the factory ones? Thanks

Fishing line and WD40.

Careful heating the area with a hair dryer if it is below 75F, Nylon fishing line and denatured alcohol worked great for me. WD40 seems a bit dangerous to be putting on the finish.

Follow it with a good waxing in the area after the new emblems are installed.

Done it many times on a number of vehicles. Never a scratch.
