removing emblems

Anybody have any tips on how to take the faux gas cap off? I have stripes and I think it would look better without it covering them up!
Thanks again in advance for everyone's priceless advice!

Realize that the faux gas cap has two pins on the backside that mate with two holes in the trunk lid. Removing the faux gas cap will expose these holes.

The definitive way to remove anything like this is to use fishing line to saw through the adhesive material. Others may recommend dental floss since it's in the house, but you'll find it breaks constantly.

You could remove the faux gas cap, and then install one of those blackout panels. Not sure if that's a route you would/could take with your original intention.

Thanx a bunch, that works great! I was going to remove my GT fender emblems today and paint them but was going to try just heat. After reading this post a few minutes ago, I grabbed some nylon kite string and had them off in just a few minuites. Great tip!!

I really like how the blackout panel looks, but ive never seen one on a mustang w/ stripes...anybody have any opinions?

Just stop the stripe on the trunk.

They recommend getting something like a "pick" under the emblem just above the lock and pulling. I used a screwdriver wrapped in cloth but it wasn't easy and relied on strong fingers.

I took mine off and painted it flat black for contrast. Not the greatest shot, but you get the idea..

Would look fine IMO with the panel and stripes
