I'm cosidering purchasing an additional "Cayenne turbo" rear emblem and having it painted red or black so it stands out a little more. I have a silver car and the silver emblems get lost in the sea of silver. I really liked the red S on my C4S.

Has anyone removed the OEM emblems? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I did it. The original emblem fixed by adhesive tape. I removed emblem by using :)) expired credit card. It does not leave scratches.

Good luck!

Dental floss also works

I suggest using a heat gun or hairdryer to heat up the adhesive first, this makes sure none of the adhesive stick too hard and pulls off paint. I've 'debadged' everything I've ever owned including my Boxster, to replace the faded emblem with a factory fresh one. After heating the emblem, pry off the letters with a credit card or similar. For the adhesive that's left on the car, let it cool down a bit and roll it with your finger. I don't suggest scraping it with the credit card or anything else as this can scratch the paint. The whole process will take less than 5 minutes.

I also agree that using a heat gun (or hair dryer) should be used to warm up the adhesive, but I would NOT recommend using a credit card. Use dental floss. After removing the badge, I use a very light rubbing compound, like Meguiar's Scratch-X to even out the area where the badge use to be. After rubbing out the area, apply some wax - don't go naked.
