Default Front bumper emblem got almost ripped off !!!

Went to see a movie tonight and parked my car next to a fellow Camaro owner. Get out and a stupid retard took the guy's front fascia emblem off and almost peeled mine. It did a small scratch on my car also but what kind of idiot would try to steel an emblem !!!! Anyways my emblem is broken in half and I will have to figure a way to take it off. So how do I go around and do this without scratching the damn paint? What should I take as emblem is there any alternatives?

You can get an OEM replacement from any dealer, or you could get the Carbon fiber one from RKSport, I love mine..........sorry that you came in contact from yet another dick head, shame you didnt catch him so you could remove his fingers since obviously, he doesn't know what to do with them.....

Some dental floss will do the trick. As stated above, get a replacement emblem from the dealer or get rid of the emblem all-together. Mr. Steve did this to his famous 2000 SS.

Mine was stolen a few weeks after I got the car. I bought a new one from the dealer.

It's like 35$ from the dealer. If I would of catched him he would learned a definite lesson to NEVER **** around anybody's car again. His mother wouldn't even recognise him anymore after I would have been done with him. This summer I got backed into (did 3000$ damage), egged, juiced and now stollen emblem !!!! Guess that's just my luck...

So I ordered the emblem should be in on tuesday. To take this think off completely what should I use to clean that gunk off? Does the sticker come with an adhesive back or I have to buy some double sided tape?
So basicly heat it up and use dental floss to pull it off.
