The Camaro ones are attached with emblem tape. I would think the Formula ones would be the same? I just took some fishing line and "sawed" up and down between the emblem and the car and they came right off. Use Goo-Gone, WD-40 etc to remove the leftover residue. Maybe someone with a Formula can verify that??

use a blow dryer or leave your car in the sun for an hour, heat definitely helps. i used bug and tar remover on mine (says it was clear coat safe on the can)

Before you remove it, though, you might want to take measurements so you can properly locate the emblem when you want to reinstall it.
