I do not know about the rears, but the fronts just pop out. You pop out the part that is closest to each door (not the front). Then, you slide the thing parrallel to the bumper to release it. They have those L shapes hooks holding them in place on the front of the car, but just pop ins on the sides. Again, I am only talking about the front impact strips.

Please do post it so we can use. Are you talking about the fronts or all around? I know the fronts (from doing the Euro ones), but not sure on the cleanest way for the whole car.

The hood emblem has a simple hand tightened clip in back. Just pop the hood and look on the underside. Should be easy.
The rear ones sound similar to the fronts. Just be careful not to ruin them.

Bro, do not chip the paint!!
I used a plastic knife. You pop out at the end closest to the door. There maybe two or three pops and then the thing slides away from the car to release the front portion.
