Yes, glued on. Take a hair dryer and heat them up -- they'll pull right off. Then take some wd-40 or goofoff to remove the remainder.

It's the first thing I did to mine.

The REAR emblems (Toyota, Yaris) are on there with double sided tape. NOT the same as glue (easier to remove). Use fishing line (best) or dental floss, back and forth, to work it off underneath.

I've seen them break, even with heat, just trying to pull them off. Great if it works, broken emblem if it doesn't. Up to you whether that matters or not.

The FRONT emblem has tabs that snap it into place.

Just a reminder. If you want to increase your post counts, there is a thread on here to do just that and a number of other threads where you can post silly stuff until the cows come home, nobody cares.

But when a new guy asks a beginner's question on the forum, there is no need to be rude about it. posting snide comments in response to a question will probably get your posts deleted at the very least.

just sayin'

I took mine off with dental floss. Got rid of the gooey residue with WD-40 and some kleenex. Booyah

fishing line also works great
