Heat it up with a hair dryer and use dental floss to "saw" the letters off. Wash and wax.

Yeah, then something like Goo Gone to get rid of the adhesive and you are styling.

I think I might just stick w/ the blow dryer and dental floss it sounds the safest. How many of you have taken your badges off?

Yea, ItalianMax2kSE or something like that, he replaced the hamburger with an Italian Flag. That's why I thought it was screwed in.
