How do the badges on the back off the car come off? Can you heat them up with like a hair dryier then peel them off or do they snap off?

Fishing line is probably easiest.

Do not pry them unless you want dents..minor but still there.

Heating works but takes time and can damage paint if left on there too long.

I was able to just pull them off by hand, but then again I'm in Arizona so it's hot enough outside

/\ ditto, just saw back and forth with the line and they will come right off, then take some wd-40 or goo gone onto the adhesive that is left on the car. Then you might want to think about a little wax over the spots where the badges were just to protect the fairly "fresh paint."

I heated it a bit with a hairdryer and then slowly sawed back and forth with thin dental floss. It came off no problem.

I used rubbing alcohol to dissolve the sticky residue.

I just wish there was a way to take the badge off the front without leaving that indentation

nope, they pop off with a little force. i used warm soapy water to get all the glue off then when over it with a terry cloth.
