Get some thread, double it up and then use the thread to cut the sponge sticky backing on the badge by pulling the thread left and right across the badge backing. This will take the badge off leaving badge backing on the car. Then get some tar remover and put some elbow grease into it. Jobs a good’un

hair dryer method works a treat as it softens the backing of the badges, use the fishing line or thread to help it off!!

begs the question why did subaru make those badges pink... red looks better like the seat covers in my opinion.. isnt pink a bit girly?

I like the pink.
I also like the pink STi badges... I think the seats are wrong - they should have been pink, not red.

Dont use elbow grease, that's how you mark the paint! Car care should be easy, if you need to put effort in or start breaking sweat you're doing it wrong
A decent glue and tar remover like Autosmart Tardis and a heat gun/hair dryer should remove any residue with feck all effort
