Removal of Mazda badges

I have seen a lot of photos of cars with the EFINI badges on them. I like the look. I see several vendors sell them, my question is, how do you remove the old 'toilet bowl" badge without damaging the paint?

What do you use to "paste" the new ones on?

Front emblem has two pincer bolts holding it down..if you have small enough hands you can reach underneath and pry them off.

Back emblem is stuck on there with two sided tape...use dental floss.

I attached the front efini emblem with the two pincer bolts and two sided 3M tape. 3M tape for the rear. Be sure to clean the surface thoroughly.

Should take about 15 minutes.

I took some dealer sticker off my 87T2 today with some bumper sticker remover, (one whole can) avail from Autozone, and a razor blade. The paint was not harmed. However you gotta be really careful with the razor. I mean do it slowly or you will surely screw it up.

It worked for me. BTW the sticker had been on there since 87.
