Piano/guitar wire or heavy weight fishing line. I peeled it off slowly by hand and my fingers ached for 2 days. The adhesive used is atomic so you will want some 3M adhesive remover to get the remnants off.

Just removed mine this evening. Used a double loop of dental floss to get behind the emblem about half way, then just pulled it off the rest of the way. The adhesive left behind is crazy sticky, about 1/8" thick. I used a thin spatula (wife was thrilled) wrapped with a thin cloth to remove the bulk without touching the paint, then used a piece of bath towel soaked in Goo Gone to rub off the rest. It takes time. Don't get in a hurry.

its expensive, but buy the 3m adhesive remover. I think its $10 for the small can. Alot less work than using goo gone.
