Fishing line. Then clean up the residue with goo gone, etc. I personally have found bug and tar remover to do a great job.

Heat gun and goo gone. I left mine on but that has worked for me in the past on many a dealership emblem or manufacturer badge delete.

---Never tried the fishing line, will have to next time

Take it to the dealership and tell them if they aren't gonna honor your warranty if you take it off-road then you do not want the badge.

I just took a flat screwdriver, and making sure i didn't touch the paint...."pryed" it off. Watch out for the oppisite side tho...it touched andd scratched the paint little cause I was not watching.

I used a hair drier on it for some time and it wouldn't budge... I'm nervous about using a screw driver as I would go nuts if it got scratched.... I suppose just put more heat on it for longer time then??
