Removing side "GT Emblems

[HoustonGT]

Hey guys, i got some "5.0" style 4.6 badges for the side of the car as part of my attempt to make small yet subtle changes to the car that set it apart form the rest of the GT's out there. Everything on the car is either red, black, or chrome/polished
Anyways, i know the GT emblems on the sides aren't just glued on and are attached in some other manner. The 4.6 badges will cover the hole left over.. Should i just use a blowdryer and some floss and yank them off or what? Any expert advice is welcome. Thanks
Mike,

I'd like to know this as well. I got the same emblem for my car, but i'm replacing the GT on the decklid with it

There are alignment holes left beneath the old GT emblem. Hope your new one covers them.

When I took them off my 01 GT I use a hair dryer and took some fishing line and tied it to a six inch dowel so it made a D shape. Much easier to hold on to and slide through the gunk holding the emblem on.

I used some fishing line after the car was in the sun for a couple hours and they came right off. Then used some goo gone to clean it up.

Patience, fishing line, and Goo Gone should do the trick.

I wanted to take mine off for a sleeper look, but is there really holes under the emblem and not just glue?

thats what i found out and was very disappointed the pic in my sig is small so you cant see the holes but thats when i was badgeless.

it would cost way too much to have them filled and then the fender repainted so i have 99-04 GT badges on it now.

Yes, there are holes under there. They are vertical in alignment, and the bottom is larger than the top hole.

Hey, the 4.6 emblems covered up the holes right?

yea just barely but they do

Anyone have a measurement between the holes plus location on each letter?

Dental floss - it's softer than fishing line and less abrasive (of course, i mean it is even comfy on your gums ) Use some Bug & Tar remover to remove the excess adhesive, thouroughly clean the area with some cleaner wax or detailer + claybar, then apply new emblem with fresh 3M adhesive.
