    just heat up the V6T badge with a heat gun or hair dryer and use something like fishing wire to get behind the badges and remove them. Honestly its easy to do, but be careful not to damage the paint. its probably easiest to just take it to your dealer and have them do it. then they're liable.

    I used dental floss... barely heated it up (with a hair dryer). It comes right off.

    At least I knew the dental floss wasn't going to hurt the paint either. Fishing wire sounds a tad harsh.

    Yep same, hair dryer to get it very warm (not hot) to touch, and something very non-abrasive like Glide floss is perfect - be sure it doesn't have tooth powder on the floss. You can get various things at the auto store to remove road tar and such to get the reside off, then clean the area and dry it well. Use painters tape, a level and mearusing tape to frame where it will go so you get it positioned well.

    You can also use mayonaise, the oil will not harm the paint, but the adhesive will come right off without the use of floss.

    Thats exactly what I said when the old timer I used to work with pulled out a mayonaise packet from his toolbox and put it on an emblem. A little bit later it came right off! I was like "wtf? You plan on eating the trunk lid for lunch?"

    I used dental floss, and afterwards, I used goo-gone to remove the glue. I let the goo gone sit there for a bit, and I took the glue off with my fingers. Afterwards, I cleaned it up, and waxed the part where I used the goo gone and finally added the new badges.

    Pics or all a y'all are lying. I used the dental floss method myself on my previous car and it worked fine with no ill effects to the paint.

    You may want to consider putting some paint masking tape up against the old badge before removing it so that you have a reference point for where to place the new one.

    I used the hairdryer/dental floss method on mine. It is a good idea to mark the spots before taking the V6T badges off and to remember that the Supercharged badges are not square, so you have to allow for the "slant" when you position them for placement. My S4 is Phantom Black so I like the black and sliver combination although red and silver would have been nice too. The price the dealer charges for them is ridiculous but I really disliked the stock V6T badges so the $75 seemed like the lesser of two evils.
