Here you go. Used a heat gun but when the plastic gets hot the chrome part of it came loose from the underside and became useless. But I did just pull it off, using fishing line may give better results. After pulling it off a little WD40 wiped the last bit of adhiesive with no effort.

I used a hook pick and snagged an edge and gave the emblem a short tug and "pop!" Off it came.

Added a Coyote badge.

The Texas Edition emblem has no holes behind it. It just sticks on.

I was going to also remove the f150 badge from the tailgate but thought it didnt look to bad but the ones on the fenders, i think ill leave them until i can verify they arent pinned, leaving an open hole in the fender( i believe they are). Having said that, Josh is correct, fishing line and also dental floss, cut off a good piece and double it up if you have to, a little heat and pull the line towards you, even if its against the body panel/paint, it wont hurt it, saw away.

I keep hoping that someone will come out with a replacement emblem that can use the alignment holes from the side emblem. I love the debadged look and those side F-150 emblems are the last ones on my truck.

I like the F150 badge but if reasoning is correct the Ford emblem is only good for about 4 years and then it falls apart and needs wire brushed and painted black.
