You Probably wouldnt want to remonve your badge cause there is a circle dention in the rear of your car. I say if you want a smooth removal, have bondo and spray paint ready for that clean look. Othere than than that go rite ahead and remove em. Take some floss or a thread for soweing and wedge it between the letters back and forth. I used vegie oil and cloth to remove all the adhessive glue.
