they have small studs on all the emblems even if you get the glue off (wich is rock hard) you will have small holes

The trunk emblems are 3m taped on,that i do know,both my bird's have been this way.
The front and side are bolted on, so bodywork will be required in these areas.

Oh and yes, as you asked, there will be an outline from the emblems visible in the paint because the paint behind them won't have faded like the rest of the car.
