Great tutorial!
I was able to remove my badges without using a heat gun as long as the weather is warm enough, say 72 deg or higher. Or leave the car emblem facing the sun for a short while. I think the newer the car, the easier the badge should come off.
Also good tip I saw from somewhere else, if you are replacing the badge on the same spot ( just like I did), place a strip of masking tape above or below the existing badge (I placed mine 1/4 inch above) so I had a perfect alignment for my new badge. I also marked the lateral location of the old badge so I have a good reference point for the new badge.
