How do you shave the badges on a Grand AM?

Heat them up with a blow dryer and then shave behind them with some fishing line or dental floss.
Then remove the gummy residue that's left with something like goo gone and then wax over it.

what he said.... (i used a heat gun, but it just gets warmer faster)
i also put a coat of wax or 2 on the areas i took badges off as well to hide up the markings.

the best 2 ways,other then just taking fishing line/any type of strong tensile string and using a sawing motion

does anyone that has shaved their trunk lid badges have any pictures of them. i have a 95 ga. the color is Dark Metallic Green, and i am still debating whether or not to shave the badges.
