Question Emblem Removal Help

I'm thinking of replacing the toyota emblem in the back with the XRS emblem. What's the safest method I can use to remove these emblems without damaging the paint?

If possible, wait to do it on a hot day or use a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive so the fishing line will cut through it like butter.

Just carry some fishing line around with you. Next time you see an XRS parked, unoccupied, you'll be all set! J/K ..... but someone who has de-badged is probably able to help you. If not. a dealer shoud be able to order one in, can't imagine it being that costly!

But couldn't resist the way this post was! I'd be pissed if someone stole mine!
