Question Removing badges

Hi my name is Justin and I'm a new member here. I have a 2000 blk Z28 w/t-tops and a six speed. I was wondering how you could remove the stock Z28 badges without removing the finish on the car. What kind of products or tools work good? Also if anyone know where I could get some 69 Z28 badges.

Most recommend that you heat it up with a heat gun or hair dryer and use dental floss to "saw" through the glue. Year One should have the '69 emblems.---->

Bah, I didnt use a blow drier OR dental floss, that broke for me!

I go a pair of tweezers, very thin ones, and slid it between the finish and the emblem, if you are carefull, you wont scratch/hurt the car at all, just go slow.
