I think it is just glued on. If so, than dental floss or fishing wire and a hair dryer. Heat the badge and use the wire/floss to go underneath the badge to remove it...just be careful not to heat the badge too much, as some hair dryers get VERY hot...

i was using the orbital buffer on my car and was not paying close enough attention and the buffer just touched the Turbo badge and it went flying. I think after being on the car for 13 years it should not be hard to get off.

I did this debadge also.

As noted it is very easy. To make it easier, just heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun and pull it off with your fingers. Only double sided tape holds it on.

I didn't have to do much either to take mine off. After 13-14 years you can actually just pull them off at least that is what I did. I have since re-installed it with a new one that came with 3m tape on it.
