I removed mine. Used a heat gun or hair dryer to soften up the adhesive then use fishing line or floss and run it in a "see-saw" motion between the truck body and the badge. When you get the badge off, use a little adhesive remover if you have any glue left on the body. Easy to do, just take your time.

That was the first mod I did to my truck. I removed them as soon as I got it home from the dealership.
