Very... light/even force and they pop right off. you may need to clean the adhesive but thats easy too. Don't use any petroleum based cleaners unless you want a dull spot.

I don't think they are ugly... well I guess I do.. but they take away from the CAMARO on the sides...
actually I wish the rearend said CAMARO.. it woudl stop the zillions of people from racing up next to me to ask...

Then they would know....

yep. Just heat the badges up a little bit with a hairdryer or heat gun if you're careful with it. then use some monofilament fishing line to get in behind the badge and 'cut' through the foam tape. it will leave a lot of tape gunk on the car, but a little goo gone will get it right off. then make sure to give the car a full wash/wax because there wont be anything protecting the clear coat where the badges were.

It's attached with a 3/4" bolt thru the deck lid.

To each his own but complaining about that is complaining about the whole car IMO*.

They make an automotive specific goo gone. i used the regular stuff when i did my car, and its fine as long as you wash it right after and dont let it sit.

I wouldn't. I just use elbow grease and soap. A dab of soap in your finger tip and just keep working it... Yes its a PITA and takes some time but all 3 vehicles were black so didn't want to risk damage to the paint.

The clay bar is awsome for this type of stuff.
