Removing the FLEX FUEL emblem...
Hey, I was going to try to remove the Flex Fuel emblem on the tailgate tomorrow, but wasnt sure if its a project I should tackle. Im worried that either when it comes off the paint will be noticeably faded, or that it wont come off clean and I will have glue residue that wont come off....
Anyone taken theirs off? was it pretty easy?

Most of the time they come off pretty easily with a little heat from a hair dryer and a plastic pry bar. Another way, but helps to have experience doing it before, you can use a thin solid wire and heat the wire and only heat an area as big as the emblem. Place the heated wire behind the emblem, but make sure you keep the wire pulled tight on the back of the emblem and away from the paint and go down with a sawing motion. Sometimes depending on the sticky tape that was used you won't have to saw at all. Always use a couple of layers of good masking tape around the emblem on the paint to protect the paint on the tailgate no matter what method you use.

The flex fuel emblem is a piece of cake to remove. I just used a length of dental floss and worked it back and forth between the tailgate/emblem. It took all of about 20 seconds to remove. A good, untrimmed finger nail is all you really need to scrap off the adhesive tape used to ad-hear the emblem to the truck. I've used this method to de-badge most of my previous vehicles with very little effort.

Lol, i ended up taking it to have some tint done, i asked the guy what he suggests to get them off, and before I finished my sentence he had already pulled it off.. no charge.
I just really hate doing anything paint related. We purchased a car from my mom a while back, and after trying to pull off stickers that were on there for years, i realized that they were stickers, but a magnet that had been on there for so long it physically adhered to the paint.
