trunk emblems

hey guys i had a question and i searched for awhile and couldn't find the answer so here goes a dumb question im sure. first, how do i go about removing the emblems on my trunk carefully, amd without ruining the paint? and second, i see a lot of people with what looks like the 3.2 cl ACURA emblem right below their "A" in the middle of their trunks. i think that looks really cool. where did you guys buy those emblems, and which emblems are they? 3.2 CL? TL? and did you just put them on and center them yourself? any help would be appreciated, and yeah...... i'm a noooooob.

what color is your car? on my black one i did it and since the paint was 8 years old or so it was faded a bit so it showed the ghost. buffed it and waxed and polished and most of that was gone. nothing to worry about now that i repainted

but I used alchohol instead of goo gone. then make sure you wax it. pretty easy.
as for the 3.2 emblem, I think they order them for the 3.2 and they come spaced.

Goo-Gone and thinners will thin your clear coat. Use heat and alcohol. Then wax it.
