ISF emblem removal
Hello everyone, just wondering how some of you have removed all of the ISF emblems/badges. I have done a bit of research and I know the obvious routes I can take such as dental floss and goo gone, but are there any other easier suggestions? I just ordered the black pearl set and I cant wait to put them on the ride. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dental floss is pretty much it. Look for 3M Adhesive Remover (Industrial Strength) to speed up the process. Don't forget to wash and wax the applied areas afterward.

Hair dryer/blow dryer and a thin plastic card/dental floss.
I did this awhile back but from what I remember, there are 2 holes behind the "LEXUS" logo on the trunk, 1 hole behind the "I" in the IS F, and 2 holes behind the "L" logo.

^^^ Think you're right about the number of holes on each of the emblems.
I used the plastic pry tool that came with the BP kit from Sewell to get each emblem started. Then I used the dental floss and Goo Gone. I wouldn't have paid for the pry tool separately, but since it came with the kit I felt obliged to give it a try.... it worked pretty well.

Thank you guys for the replies! I'll have to get rid of this weird material dental floss that has the minty flavor added to it, I can't grip it!!! Hahaha but I really do appreciate the replies, I'll keep you guys posted. Oh, and to confirm the holes, there are 2 in each badge except for the F badge on the trunk which only has 1, but the Lexus writing has 2, the trunk emblem L has 2, the I in IS has 1 and that pretty much sums it up.

The I on the rear has the hole. I just did my emblems today. No hairdryer...I just let the hot Texas sun do that for me lol. Wasn't a hard job at all. I relied on the sst removal tool u get from the sewell set. Worked like a charm and didn't scratch anything. Used the automotive bottle of Goo gone for the adhesive. Didn't even bother with floss too much
