I took mine off using floss. Didn't even use a hair dryer (would have helped though).

when i was in europe... almost all of the cars didnt have rear badging (mercedes and bimmers) is it an option over there or something?

Easy to do. On the red you might have darker paint under the badge where it hasn't faded but a good coat of wax makes it not noticable.

Good deal, I will use this method to remove that stupid dealership badge which is probably permanently cemented into the trunk!
