Default Debadging my 94 SC300

Okay guys so I have a 94 SC300 and I want to debadge it. I want to just leave the "L" Lexus logos on the car because I'm assuming that there are holes behind the "L" emblems like other imports that I don't feel like covering up. My question to you guys is, are there holes also behind the emblem that says "SC300" and the "LEXUS" emblem? If there are no holes behind those two, how should I go about removing those two without scratching or scuffing the paint? I've tried using a credit card or fishing line in the past with my old cars and that doesn't work out very well for me, it always leaves some kind of scuff marks. Who knows maybe I'm not taking my time or being to rough when doing it lol.

Really? Cause it doesn't look like it to me. It looks like the "L" logo is the only one with holes. Interesting...

Yes there are holes behind them. Fishing line works well for me, but you can use dental floss if you're really afraid of scratching the paint, it'll just keep breaking. Heat up the emblem with a heat gun or just use a hair dryer on hot and work away at it.
