I saw some on YouTube. They made it look easy if you got the right tools to do it. But if I were you, I'd start there.

Floss or better yet fishing wire (stronger) will work. Hair dryer and credit card method I've seen works also and sometimes does a better job keeping the adhesive intact instead of splitting with wire/floss.

Fishing line.
Heat Gun/ Hair dryer.
Goo Off or 3m Adhesive remover.
Wax.
30 min of your time.
Use the fishing line to get between the metal and the badge. Put each end in each hand, slowly pull, the badge will separate use low heat don't get it burning hot. After all badges are removed use the adhesive remover and a soft cloth to get rid of all the black adhesive. Then wax over where your removed everything.

Heat it up first using a conventional hair dryer if you have access to one then lift up the sides using a plastic knife putty if you have one or an old credit card and work your way slowly to the center
There should be little sticky residue left if you do it slowly... wipe it down with goo gone and polish the area and your all set

You can actually spray them with plasti-dip while they're still on the car, and peel off the plasti-dip surrounding them, it peels right off. Tape the area off around them real good and cover up the rest of the car to protect from overspray. done this on a few vehicles, much easier than removing & reapplying. I believe someone did a youtube video on it too.

Thanks guys. I am going to wash, claybar and wax my car this weekend. I will be debaging it before with a hot air dryer and some floss. Just slapped on some 19's and I am getting my front grill painted and back taillight painted brabus style. Also ordered custom plates.

I know people that have had it for 18+ months with no issue whatsoever. I had it on my last car for nearly a year with no issues whatsoever. looked great and was easy as pie.
