Arrow I need help....

I have a '96 gt and the fender emblems are kinda jacked up from the previous owner. Does anyone know a good way to get them off without messing my paint? Keep in mind the adhesive is also...9 years old.

best thing to do is a blow dryer and fishing line. use the blow dryer for a good 5mins get it really hot and then use the fishing line to snake it behind the emblem and pull them off. This is how i did it on my F150 when i acetoned my emblems. good luck. also dont worry the paint wont be harmed by the blow dryer.

If that doesnt work then take a flat head screw driver and wrap a thin towel around the head and scrape it off. If you do it carefully then you wont mess up the paint.

That easy?! Super sweet. Which emblems should I go with? I have an idea....SOHC 281 Badges. Either that..or the 99+ GT emblem or maybe the original 96 Gt one. Any suggestions?

Only reason I was making a big ****ing deal about it, somebody called saying they work for MT. That my card has been declined, yet the money was already taken out.
