Default Replace badges??

Hey guys........I was wondering how hard it would be to change the fender badges on my '02 GT. You know, on the the front quarter panel behind the front wheel where it says GT, I was going to replace that with a red. 4.6L badge that's shaped like the old 5.0 badges. But how do you remove the old badge and what's the best way to apply the new badge? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

You can use fishing line or floss and take it out....

get a heat gun(or hair dryer) and heat up the sticky stuff, then use fishing line and it will come right off. im about to go do all mine right now because my car is going in the shop for paint friday.

EXACTLY.... Make sure to heat it up enough to not take off the paint but not to much to burn it!!

I heated mine up with a hair dryer and then used a credit card to get it off. The biggest pain was getting all the glue residue off after you get the actual emblem off.

Use 'OOPS!' from any local store(ie walmart) to get the residue off. You will be suprised as to how well it works.
