Default S2000 emblem removal?

Any tips for this before I just go yank on these? Heat gun maybe?
Sorry, did a search and came up with nothing.

you can warm them, but be very careful not to get them too warm...

main tips:
dental floss and wd-40!!

and if you are putting on new badges, be sure to tape off the area where the badges are before removing them.
if you arent putting on new badges, you need a plan to fill the holes

i replaced my stockers with black chromes, then when i saw ricks, i replaced the black chromes on the front and back with ricks badges... and left the black chrome s2000 on the sides

There are 2 pins,on each front and rear badges.
You will have to fill the holes.!!!

Although I would really like to get rid of the huge H emblem on the front, I'm just removing the side emblems. I don't believe there are holes for them.

Yup some high strength string get's off really quick. Don't use goo-gone to remove the remaing adhesive. Heating up the emblem before hand should help. 3M has an Automotive adhesive remover....it smells like ass..but it doesn't damage your clear coat.

The 3M adhesive remover is the best I have used !! A little heat and this and you are set.

i used a heat gun, goo gone and a towel to rub the goo off.

There are no holes on the side but holes front and back.

I figured you knew what it looked like after but just wanted to actually post this pic atleast once since I took the time to upload it!!!! Plus..it's one of my favorite mods because it makes the car look so clean and people can't just read the side of the car if they don't know what it is!

good luck..took me like 15 minutes a side.

btw...I snapped both 2000's in the process but I kind of planned on it. Be careful with them if you care about them.
