Roundel Removal Questions . . . Yes Another
Okay so obviously I've researched this topic since it's nothing new but every attempt/technique I've tried hasn't worked. Anyone have any tips on how to remove the hood and trunk roundel's? Another option I haven't tried was a bondo spreader which I heard would do the trick after using dental floss. My issue is I feel not even the dental floss is even attempting to go underneath the roundel's themselves. Any help would be appreciated! Pics also would be more helpful, I have tried flat screw driver, credit card, nylon tape and etc. but nothing seems to be helping to get underneath the roundel

Another option is a credit card combined with a putty knife. lots of prying ways, just use common sense

Awesome thanks! I got the trunk off relatively easy, it is just that hood but I'll take these ideas for though. Appreciate it!

I swapped out the rear roundel for one with a color matched surround. Heatgun and dental floss - since there are two guide pins near the center keeping you from working all the way through from side to side, work your way around, theres no adhesive in the center anyway. The whole thing comes off as one piece.

If it has the plastic inserts for the pins, try warming it up with a hair dryer to soften the plastic just a hair and give it wiggle room.
Stack up stuff under and pry up as stated above.

Yeah I tried the dental floss on the front, it didn't work which was a bit surprising. I knew I had to work my way under the roundel but after 30mins with no budge of going underneath. Well, I felt it was a lost cause of attempting that method
