Use 3m adhesive remover



As for the scratches, you can TRY buffing, but that might need to be repainted.

if someone does have beef with me- scratching my trunk and taking my emblem is quite an immature way to go at it. im not sure of wht to do with it any recommendations? i thnk painting it ovr or gettng a cf trunk is around the same cost

unless you have a CF theme, i wouldn't get cf trunk just because it distracts from the looks of the car IMO

I think a carbon trunk would work well, but you always have to wonder if that person stole your emblem from your regular trunk, what the hell are they going to do when they see it on a carbon trunk. That sucks that that happened, but I would just go back to a regular trunk...oh and that adhesive remover works miracles.

You can use goo gone, and an old library card or old credit card. I'd be more worried about the scratches...

Judging from those pictures, I highly doubt you can buff them out as they look like they're deep into the primer, you'll probably have to repaint it or look out for trunks in the marketplace cuz sometimes buying used trunks might be cheaper than repainting it.
