I've heard of taking fishing line between both hands and pulling it between the trim and body....sorta like flossing.

+1... This worked on the last two vehicles i owned (took all the badging off of a civic and an escort.)

Would this work for giving my neon the ACR look? But just on the back doors so the GRM number plate looks better

I've been using a combination of cold-chisel, blowtorch and reciprocating saw on the E30.
