I'd like to remove the "toyota" "celica" and "gt" emblems off the back, and just leave the middle 3-ring toyota emblem. from what I know (and I very well could be wrong) the middle emblem is the only on that would actually leave holes if removed, and the others are held on by some kind of double-sided tape? so how do I go about removing them?
I'd like to go for the shaved emblem look for my new hatch, but I want to practice with my old hatch right now so if I screw anything up it really doesn't matter.

Make sure the gold badges fit the rear as i bought a pair & the front was fine just a bit bigger but the larger badge wouldn't sit flush on the rear so i had to put the old one on & gonna spray it soon. -------------------- My Celica Is Now For Sale
