    Is it hard to debadge? And I don't want to pull off the grand prix part and not be able to get the glue residue off since it's an 02. Any thoughts

    Fishing line to remove emblems. Goo gone to remove old glue. Compound to buff paint afterwards in case of faded paint

    Only thing he didn't mention was a heat gun or hair dryer to soften up the old double sided tape, let's the fishing line (or dental floss, that's what I used) cut through easier.

    Heat gun and plastic drywall knife. Worked like a charm. Floss kept breaking, and I didn't have any fishing line on hand. (Don't do a whole lot of fishing here.)

    Little buff afterward, and it looks like they were never there.

    Using the knife, I could actually gently pry the badge. I'd say about 80% of the tape came off with the badge. Easy cleanup.
