Just debadged my Scion Fr-s today. I only removed the FRS symbol though. Items that i used: hair dryer, tooth floss (I recommend fishing wire tho), Automotive Goo Gone, and car wax. Here's the debadging process that I followed:
1. Clean the back of the car really well and let it dry.
2. Open the trunk half way and blow hot air on the frs sign with a blow dryer. I had it on high and I held it about 8 inches away from the emblem. I had the trunk open just to avoid unnecessary heat going on plastic bumper.
3. While applying the heat control the temperature of the trunk. If it is getting too hot to touch it, then you are overheating it. It only needs a bit of heat actually. Also grab the FRS logo with your fingers and see if you can move it slightly. If it allows you a bit of play, then you are good to go.
4. Close the trunk and begin removal. I used tooth floss, but I believe that fishing wire would be much better. I just didn't feel like buying fishing wire. I started from the right side and went towards left. Don't rush, take it slow and just cut through the glue.
5. After the entire logo was removed, I heated the remaining glue on the car just a bit and pealed it off with my fingers.
6. Then used a clean cloth and Automotive Goo Gone to clear the surface completely.
7. Then waxed the entire area and car looks like the symbol was never there.
