Where have you been all this while? Server has been upgraded and search feature is back!
Anyway, I think you just have to use a hair dryer to heat up the emblems, then use a cloth to cover a flat screw driver and pry them off. Good luck.

Use some fishing line to work behind the glue/tape and work it downwards as you take the emblem off (after heating it up).
Do NOT use a screwdriver!

I used dental floss for my 2k2.. It was so easy, i used a hair dryer at first but the summer temps last year were so hot it was already so easy to come off..
I haven't done it to my 2k3 yet, but for pics come here..

Floss will work just fine. If whatever glue is left on the paint just use some brake parts cleaner and.... 
(dont use the parts cleaner...please) Use the dryer to heat up any glue left if needed but dont hold it on the paint too long.

Fishing line or dental floss and a hair dryer work great. For the excess glue, get yourself a bottle of "Goo-Gone" at Home Depot or auto parts store. Besides the glue, Goo-Gone is great for removing other gunk you may get on the paint.

I can't decide if I should take mine off or not. My car is white just like KPazzo's. I actually think the badges look OK, especially the older ones where the letters are on a slant. Mine is a 2k3, the letters are straight. What do you guys think...take them off or no?
