I'm removing the stock emblems on my vehicle to replace with these
they both "stick on" how should I go about removing the stock emblems?..

First use a hair dryer or low temp heat gun to heat up the adhesives behind the emblem. Then get some fishing string or dental floss and slowly pull the string behind the emblem. Keep heating it up every so often.

Re: emblem removal..
you can try tree and sap remover. I had a civic I removed the badges off and I used goo-gone. not saying thats paint safe at all but it did turn out fine. I would try something that is more paint-friendly just to be on the safe side.
Furthermore I would sport the no badge look for a little, you might be more happy with the clean panels then putting that other badge on?

Removed all badges but the si badge on the grill and "H" on trunk. I hated those immature i-vtec badges on the sides especially (those were stickers) then i opted for the "civic" and "si" badges on the back (similar to your "gt" badge)

I definitely love a cleaner look, thats what my build for this is (as all of my builds) however behind the gt emblem there is a hole, which I'd have to plug, which wouldn't be too much of a problem if it was permanent
however I was given these emblems free and didn't really plan on using them but I'm adding a few more small chrome and red accents so I think it will offset them nicely

Any reason you love the tundras so much?? No pun intended just wondering.

removed all the badges with dental floss and goo-gone, then clayed and polished, unless you do, someday you will see exactly what and where the emblems were.
