eBay for clear corners u can get them for like 20 shipped....and 3M makes a good emblem adhesive for applying emblems or 3M double sided tape works too

i have a special paint safe scraper to tape emblems off but use a nice solid piece a fishing line to cut the glue behind it then goo gone the remaining glue that is leaves behind

1. Emblems: Fishing line or some people even use dental floss, but that breaks
too easy! I used a hair dryer to get it off easier, then use light duty compound to clean it up! I'f your going to re-install make sure the surface is clean & free of residue.

2.Corners: E-

1) If I were you, I'd just leave my emblems on and paint them. It might take a little longer, but it'll save you the headache of finding adhesive and putting them on perfectly centered. Just carefully use painters tape to tape it off, make sure the tape is on there good, and paint on the car.

2) $43 isn't too bad, but you could probably find a cheaper set on eBay
