I used wire cutters inside the trunk to remove with a twist motion.

i got the rears out easy but that front emblem was a pain, i definitely messed up my paint around the holes taking it out, luckily it was only millimeters around the holes so its easily fixed

Ok, Question. I removed the front fine due to having to replace the bumper. So the front was off the car and came off with ease. How do you take the back one off? I know take a hair dryer to heat it up and run something like fishing line under to get it to come off. But When I view this thing from the inside, They have like a plastic nipple that goes over the pegs.

I am trying to paint these and replace them, Does the emblem just come off.... do you need to take those off before/after? how does the rear come off.

So leave the plugs in the back alone and when you place it back on, just get new double sided tape and push the pins back in the plugs.
