. I got my black and white roundels ready for install but removing the old ones is hard. I insert a credit card on my hood roundel and loosen it but it still wont come out! Its now lose and I tried using a flat head left a TINY mark on my hood but I have so many chips its not a problem. The card would not even go into the trunk roundel? What is a safe easy way to remove the roundels?

Never tried it...but looks this would work. Looks like the straps that come on paper boxes



Or this. Habor Freight mini suction cup.....

use a suction cup if its already loose
or put one credit card in one side under a microfiber cloth and do the same to the other side

It's pretty easy. Just stick a flat head under it, make sure to have a towel underneath so the flat head is not touching your paint. The pins are at 9 and 3 o clock position. Just work around it, and it should come out fairly easily.

Use duct tape, folded over (hide sticky side) and use that as a "strap" to pull off the emblem.

Hope you got it out, I used the tinyest flathead and put a microfiber cloth under it first before i gently pryed it up.
