Im trying to remove my emblems in the rear, both the 'toyota' and the "GT" emblem. I removed the "GT" emblem and there is a white plastery material underneath, sticky material. How do I remove it?

use bug and tar remover. Rub it on till it comes off. Don't rub too hard but hard enough. I wouldn't recomend any other ways because i can't take off the paint. Hope that helps.

heat it up using a blow dryer. then just keep rubbing it out until its gone.
I've mastered the art of the After Image Technique.

or you can use Gogone. If you don't want to buy Gogone you could just do what Zero said...heat it up w/the a hairdryer and just keep rubbing it with a damped rag.

I used a hair dryer. Blow that sucker off till it gets hella hot, then use a piece of string, I used dental floss. Once removed, I used WD-40.

I used 3M adhesive remover. I think that works better than anything else.

What ever you guys do... Dont pull of the front emblem of a 2004 Tsunami Celica ...unless you're willing to live with the two holes under it.
BTW do you guys know what knid of glue I should use to stick it back on? I hate those two holes in my bumper. It looks awful!

DONT USE WD-40. it will ruin paint. I used it and it works fine. Sprayed a bit on a piece of cloth and rubbed off the glue.
