The way I've removed them is heat the badge up with a hairdryer then use a plastic scraper with a microfiber towel between the scraper and the paint to gently pry it up. The scraper should not make contact with the paint. These cars scratch very easily.

A lot of people also use dental floss instead of the scraper. I tried the floss and it kept breaking. I was probably being too aggressive. Good luck!

I have used 20lb test monofilament fishing line. Then goo gone to remove the adhesive. Best done on a warm, sunny day.

You've got the 392 decal, not the 392 emblem, right? If that's the case, stop by any auto body shop, should take them about 15 minutes to remove without any paint damage. Purchase the 392 emblems of your choice, and you're good to go.-:D Almost forgot, when placing your new emblems, use alcohol pads to clean the area and install with the temperature above 60 degrees F.

I've also seen some post good success with pouring water from a coffee pot brought to simmer across the decal. I took a suggestion of using a light mist of WD40 over a dealer vinyl graphic and that worked but it was summer and significantly warmer at the time.

Generally for a vinyl graphic the warmer it is the easier it'll be so you might have to use a hair dryer or warm water to get to where you can peel it off. It was November when I had my R/T Classic stripes removed to put the AAR stripes on and they had to use a heat gun to warm the factory stripes up and the some goo gone and alcohol to prep for the new graphics.

Take it easy
