Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Front emblem



Heat gun and run some fishing line or dental floss behind it. If you don't have a heat gun a hair dryer or similar work.
 
I usually start with a pocket screwdriver, being very careful to raise a corner of the emblem without marking the surrounding paint. Then switch to a thin plastic or wooden tool to avoid scratching while prying the emblem up. Once it's started just pull it by hand if possible. Warming the area does soften tape but it could also have been previously glued as well.
 


I just did this, lol. Tape around out side on those ledge so ya don't scratch yer paint (I didn't because I thought I was careful and my bumper looks like crap anyway), I took a small screw driver and lifted all the corners then went around the edges, got a puddy knife and use some random flat plastic something or other - came off pretty good, Then there was double-sided sticky stuff about an 1/8" thick, so I pealed that off with the puddy knife and small screwdriver. I got some super-glue and glued a different one on. I also painted around it because I'm weird. lol

Just a tip to add here, wrap the screwdriver with masking/duct/electrical tape to help prevent damaging paint

^ This.
And make sure both surfaces are warm; use a heat gun if they are cold.

Pic old badge is cracked/faded (I'm assuming you want a new one for a reason) it wouldn't hurt to gently rough it up with some 80 grit around the edges to help it stick
 


I went with the carbon fiber overlay for the gxp, love the looks and the fact that it's an overlay isn't as noticeable as I thought it would be
