Removing Embelems

yes. you'll see a "shadow" of the letters, but it's not noticeable unless you're up close.

goo gone removes adhesive stuff well.

The letters are stuck on, like the others said 3M adhesive remover, hair dryer and patience. But for the Infiniti logo itself is in "screwed" in, for a lack of words, to the trunk.

then after you can do a dance, lol

When I removed my letters, there was a slight shadow. But after a short while the shadow blended back in as the newly exposed paint faded.

I took mine off and after a few washes and waxes it looks all the same. I heated my letters up with the heat gun and used some dental floss and watched the letters drop to the ground.

This is called debadging......quite easy if done right......try a search to find
out the correct process......most of what I've read in this post is incorrect
or useless and might even cause damage to your lid!
