Bonnet and boot wings badge

Has anyone reinstalled a new wings badge on the hood or the boot? How do you remove the factory wings to reinstall the new wing badge?

Use some fishing line to "saw" through the adhesive on the back. There are two posts in the center of the badge that go into holes in the skin (for alignment) so be aware you won't be able to saw through those - you have to go at it from all angles (also, just so you aren't surprised when you take them off and find holes there!). Then use a little GooGone to clean up the adhesive.
