WD-40 or GooGone
you'd be surprised how many uses there are for WD-40...it really works!
youre going to have a little discoloration because the sun has faded the area around it (just so u know)

here's a stupid question I'll ask since this thread is here:

Are both mazda emblems front and rear just affixed with adhesive?

no, they have pins to line it up, and if installed correctlly should have some press on washers that go behind the bumper to secure them

So do you have to remove the bumper to get the washers off to remove them? Or will they pop right off?

or breaking the mazda symbol. i just attached my efini symbols with a good 3M doublesided tape and they have been on there for 6months no problem. i check them everytime i was the car just to make sure they aren't working their way loose though. for peace of mind...and if you have extra time on your hands do it right and use the round-clippy-washer-thingies.

Maybe it's a knock-off?
