In my opinion, the adhesive one's aren't worth it if you can find something that's more OEM equivalent. It's not like they original emblems are hard to pop off.
With the adhesive types, you risk things like not applying it straight and level, having air bubbles under it, or having it peel sometime down the road. Sure, they're probably cheaper but you get what you pay for...

So get the full CF and not the stick on 1s if you are in hot contry.
I used a cloth and a small screwdriver and the original emblems comes out very easy.

OK, so the Bimmian stickers suck and I went ahead and ordered the CF Roundels from eBay. That said, has anyone figured out an easy, clean way of removing the hood and trunk emblems? Any little secrets?
Someone mentioned slippng a credit card under and using a cloth, followed by prying, but I'm nervous about the pins.
Hey Boner - How did you get yours off?
