Some folks use fishing line that they manage to work behind the lip of the badge. Just use the line to cut through the double-sided tape that holds the badge to the grill. Here's a page on ScoobyMods.com that mentions another method. I think Kastle has a GC8 but the procedure is the same:

Replacing front badge.

front grill badge removal

i did mine a few weeks back. i took a hair dryer, put it on low heat and warmed up the badge for a few minutes. this loosens up the sticky two sided thick 'tape' that holds the badge on. then i took a small regular screwdriver (or dull butter knife) with dull edges and pried in between the badge edge and trim around the badge. once you get an edge up a bit, use the hairdryer a bit more to help it out. DON'T RUSH IT.
