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.

Well I dragged my lazy ass to the store, and lo-and-behold, I found Goo-gone! Now I goptta get up in the morning and actually do something with the emblems. I'm taking off the "Toyota" and "Celica" emblems, leaving on the "GT" emblem. I have the cursive "Celica" emblem on order and i'm gonna put that where I took off the other ones. The toyota symbol is already off, but has the 2 holes, so eventually I'll need to get those filled.
