What's the easiest way to get the badges off of the vehicle? I went to go look at mine and try to see how much give it has and there wasn't much. I would hate to snap that piece of plastic in half

Edit.. Got the drivers side badge off. What a bit*h it was!! So now it's time to clean her up with some rubbing alcohol and Krylon paint it is!!

I've gotten mine off before by applying some heat from a heat gun, or hair dryer, then lightly pry them off with some of those plastic prybars that body/trim guys use. You can get them from Herbies Fright, Harbor Freight that is, for less than $10. Clean the area with alcohol before reapplying.
Use just enough heat to soften the tape, and be careful not to warp your badge from too much heat.
I've read/heard of guys using fishing line to cut through the adhesive as well, but I've never done that.

When I debadged my Taho Z71 (I know, I owned a crap car made by none other than Government Motors) ((I know GM Stands for General Motors but in my house we call them Government Motors)) any who when I stright debadged my Hoe, I used a heat gun and some 12 lb test fishing line and slipped it behind the badge and slid it back and forth and came off no problem then used rubbing alcohol to clean it up. Just my two cents on badge removal.

The only issue I had with my badge is that it has two plastic pins that actually go into the fender. It was a little headache to get off but I finally ended up doing it.

The red lettering looks great!

I use dental floss to cut through the foam and then use adhesive remover to get the rest off.

Fishing line works and just clean the adhesive off. Then use 3m body moulding tape to put it back on.
