Default Removing 'GT' Badge?

How do I do this on my 01?? Ive heard the GT on the trunk doesnt have any screws and doesnt leave holes? So how do I take it off and not mess up the paint

Heat it up with a hair dryer and use like fishing line to slide underneath it.I could be wrong though.

Just a little. Use a little bit of adhesive remover.

i left my GT emblem on but took my Ford emblem off nd replaced it with the SCT emblem that came with the tuner, looks hot. ppl sometimes mistake the SCT for SVT and when they see my window column gauges they automatically assume supercharger - i like it!

I took the side GT emblems off my 98. I used a screwdriver to very carefully pry them off. They did leave a hole but I didn't care because I was putting on a different one anyway. The trunk on however, will not have a hole under it. Also keep in mind, if your car's paint is faded at all, you'll be able to see where your emblem was. Oh, and take your time.

How big is the hole that is left when you remove the side badges? I was playing around with the idea of wiring up some side markers in place of my GT badges.

They were 3/8". Perfect for some wires but not big enough for to much else.
