Default Front Emblem won't come off...

I finally got some time to put my JDM badges on... and the front emblem refuses to come off. I have removed all the glue with dental floss, can lift the emblem from any side... but there still is a huge resistance in the center.

Looking at the DIY guides it seems to be just a simple "dental floss, goo gone, alcohol, replace" procedure. That worked fine for the rear emblem, but the front is not budging.

Is there some kind of screw or nut that is holding the front emblem on? I can't really get a good angle to see it under the hood due to the red front cover (near radiator). Trying not to remove anything I don't have to... but I feel like I'm doing it wrong.

I have an 07 AP2, am I missing some step?

Don't remember exactly how they look but I believe there's plastic piece holding onto the 2 legs on the back. Either take the bumper off to get at them or just break them off of you don't plan on reusing.
