Nismo Titanium Shift **** Shift Pattern Label Removal

I have a Nismo Titanium shift **** .. the circle shift pattern insert on the top of it has a deep scratch (no idea how) and I want to remove it .. I can't find or think of anything thin and strong enough to stick in between the small gap between the insert and the actual **** .. is there any way to remove this ?? I tried heating it up with a blow dryer for a WHILE to loosen the sticky underneath but it didn't really work .. any ideas ?? anyone else have to ever remove this label to replace it with a new one ?? any ideas would help a LOT

anyone have any ideas on this ?? it's just the stick on tab .. can't really find anything thin and strong enough to get it off and the only thing I have around is a hair dryer .. maybe I could just leave the hair dryer on it for a long *** time and glue something to the tab to pull it off ?? any ideas ?? I have a scratch on the tab and it's annoying me to the point that I don't want it in my car until it's fixed

well .. I don't have goo gone but I have goof off .. I literally just spent 30 mins trying to put goof off into the tiny crevasses .. I put WD-40 in there as well .. I heated it up to extremely hot with a blow dryer but nothing seems to get it out .. I can feel it slightly moving but I have nothing thin enough or strong enough to fit in the gap to pry it up (a razor blade would be thin enough but would easily break leaving sharp peices in the gap) .. I was thinking of gluing something to the actual label but once I start heating it I'm thinking the glue will soften and won't work .. this label is a nightmare lol .. any ideas ??

Maybe a jewelers flathead screwdriver? Those things are pretty tiny and won't chip off like a razor blade...

that's actually a really good idea .. just gotta find one or find a way to find a jeweler stupid enough to use that as a pry LOL


will brake cleaner, nail polish remover or acetone cause any visual damage to the rest of the **** ?? also, not sure if any of the liquid would even get through the gap enough to get this adhesive off .. I guess I'm going to try to find something like a jewelers flathead or maybe a flathead from a glasses repair kit .. my best bet is prying but that gap is soo small

Try dental floss or monofilament to remove emblem, like when you remove badges on the G's exterior. Then cleanup adhesive residual with products already mentioned.
