I didnt take my badging off, but i've heard to heat the area w/a hairdryer, and use some dental floss to get behind the badging

when my evo was pretty new, around 5,000 miles, i just peeled it off with my fingers and used a soft cloth and some elbow grease to remove the very little remaining glue. the fresh factory badges double-sided tape should still be pretty soft.

Fishing line or dental floss and u can also use 3m's adhesive remover =) take ur time and i say wear some heavy duty gloves cuz my fingers were killing me. Also go easy w the remover remember our paint is crap. I didn't have to use it but then again i removed it when the car had like 2k miles. GL

^Exactly what I did^...I would also add a nice coat of wax after the UK badge is installed over the entire rear deck lid...just to get rid of any marks that the removal process may have caused.
