What adhesives are you all using to replace the emblem?

They are not removing the emblem so no adhesive required. The plasti dip is sprayed right on the emblem while still on the car and when dry you peel off the excess. No mess

Or Home Depot if you're only looking for black. I have an assortment of colors at home. I plasti-dipped the centers of these wheels a year or so ago using gray followed by silver metalizer:

I picked mine up at Lowe's. it was just under $6/bottle. I also picked up a can of white to do the rims on my Ducati 999.

You should see behind the car, i have ~3.5 sets of tires and about 4 feet between them and the car!

Now you just need to upgrade your signature with a pic of the car with the new back "turbo"

I want to remove my turbo emblem. Earlier I remember folks saying to use hair dryer and heat emblem while using dental floss to carefully try to pull emblem off slowly. I guess you keep pouring on the heat until dental floss begins to move. Correct? Question if done this way, can all traces be removed, meaning no damage to paint/clearcoat?

When I did this on previous vehicles, I heated up for a moment or so. Then I used the floss like I was doing between my teeth. So basically you are using the floss to cut thru the adhesive. Afterwards use goo gone to remove any leftover residue.

Hope this helps.

How did you take the emblem off, any help will be appreciated

To get my emblem black I did NOT remove the emblem. The plastidip used just peeled right off of the car.

So spray on, let dry and peal away or did u tape it off?

I cleaned the surface, and then taped off with multiple trash bags and blue (and some green) painters tape.

I then sprayed the black on with 4 coats waiting approximately 35 to 45 minutes between coats.

I then allowed it to cure overnight (about 10 hours) before peeling. When I grabbed the far right part of the trash bag and pulled, everything but the letters came right off. I used a plastic toothpick to lightly scratch inside of the "b" and "o" in the crease until I could wedge the toothpick under the coating to peel the rest off.

Here are 2 pics of the process:
