I think it is just some sort of appoxy glue, but I realy don't know and have never tried, but I'm sure someone here will be able to help. Maybe a hair drier on a humid day will work, but wait for some other opinions.

-Take a hair dryer and warm up the emblem (adhesive)
-After it is warm take a nice piece of dental floss and place behind a corner of the emblem.
-Work it back and forth like you are sawing a tree and it will eventually come off.
-After you have it off take some goo gone and wipe adhesive off of car.
-Hope this helps, I had to take of my black T/A badges and replaced them with siver ones. This worked great with no damage to the car. Good Luck

you could just peel them off and get the sticky residue off with some water sanding and polish it after
