No stinkin badges

Well, if that badge is like the wrx badging then it's a snap to do. Take a regular hairdryer, set it on high and run it over the badge for a minute or two. Don't use anything more powerful than a hairdryer or you'll warp the paint. Next, take either some dental floss or fishing line and slide behind the back or the badge and just wiggle it until it separates from the glue/car. Hopefully very little glue will be left on the car because the less there is the easier it is to finish up. Go to a car parts store and buy some 'Bug and Tar' remover, something strong, but not too strong...you want the glue gone, not your paint. LIBERALLY apply the b&t remover and let it soak. Removal of the glue is kinda tricky, and can be time consuming, but I just use my fingernails to scratch off the rest, this is the most non-marring 'tool' I could think of. The more b&t remover you use, the easier the job will be, just make you sure you read the directions for it. To finish the job off just wash the area you've been working on and then polish and/or wax the entire area (or panel). If there are tiny swirl marks, any polishing compound should take it out really easily.
I debadged EVERYTHING off the trunk lid of my 04 wrx this way, I had some marks where the 'a' in subaru was, but after some polish and a few waxes it's totally nonexistant now.
Hope this helps you out!
