Is there an easy way to remove the "V8" from the fenders without harming the paint? ...I purchased the 5.0 emblems to replace them with.
Thanks!

Try either monofiliment fishing line or dental floss & saw the two sided tape.
 






I've always used fishing line to cut through the double sided tape and then a hairdryer coupled with Goo Gone to get rid of the leftover residue. Once everything is cleaned up, you're still likely to see a dull outline of the V8, but a little polishing compound should take care of it. Once you put the 5.0 badges on, it'll be nearly impossible to detect unless you're really looking for it.

Exactly what I've done in the past. Just make sure to use some windex to remove the polish so the new emblems will stick better.
