I don't really want to damage them, someone maybe could use them, but I'm replacing them with these:

Well it's probably safer to go behind the fender and push the peg that holds it in place out. That will require removing anything that is in the way of you reaching it however. Or if you're patient, just take a cloth and a preferably rubber tipped screwdriver (coat with silicon or something) just to make sure nothing scratches. I don't speak from experience, just theoritcs, but one of the above should be the method everyone uses.

What about using a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive? |
Ok do this on a really hot day let it sit out in the sun, take a hairdrier or heat gun set on low. and take your hands and carfully pry them off, is this isnt working take fishing like or thin wire and "cut" the foam emblem tape, then from there you can clean off the rest of the tape easly. then poish it clean and mount the new one's have fun ;)

Yeah the fishing line trick works great! I did that with mine when I was removing emblems off of my bent body panels.

Looks great Brian. How did you get the thing off?

Blow dryer, kite string, bug sponge, and bug/tar remover.
