I just removed my moulding and Trans Am badges. It took me a while to jump on the bandwagon but I'm glad I did. It looks so much cleaner and modern IMO. Just be gentle while pulling it off. I used a hair dryer to heat it up.

Lot's of rubbing with your thumb, some paint cleaner, rags, and patience. no razor blade needed...

Take fishing line, and run it between the molding and the car pulling outward, razor is to risky, then clean it up with some bug and tar remover, then use some rubbing compound if necessary. You will love it
