De-badging my EX coupe.. use dental floss?

I live in a busy area with alot of punks roaming the streets, I want to de-badge my Civic before someone takes a screwdriver to my emblems. I heard that you can just peel them off or use dental floss? Anyone out there have a preferred method? Many thanks..

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Hair dryer and dental floss will work on everything but the 'H' which is pegged in.

Ahh thanks.. appreciate it. About the pegged in 'H' you mean in the front, rear or both? Thanks again.

that is right, but if your afraid of punks ripping of your emblems, then if i were you id be more worried about the 'H' then the 'Civic" because the 'H' is what they prefer to have, and like Boilermaker said the 'H' is pegged in, but you can still remove it the same way, but there will be to tiny holes behind it. b ut if u dont want two tiny holes and a nice deep scratch from the screwdriver then i suggest you take it off, or possibly have your trunk re painted and shave the emblems, thats what i did...

dental floss works but then your left with the adhesive on the car. its much easier if you use a blow dryer and try to peel the badge as a whole.

Gotcha thanks. Now I need to decide if I should remove it and leave the holes(dont have money to get it filled and re-painted) or just leave it. I'm leaning towards removing it and dealing with the two tiny holes. Maybe I'll put some silicone in there.. ack. Thanks man for the reply.
