Default How do you remove Scion logos from stock hubcaps?

I just got a set of stock hubcaps for my steelies and I would like to remove the scion logo , repaint the hubcap and then replace the logo. How do you get those little *&%$ off without breaking them? Thanks.

My search only came up with this and it didn't help.

When I get home on a little bit I will look at the stock covers I have and put in my $.02. There is more than one cover design mine are ugly.

I just need something to cover my winter rims. There are two clips on the back but I'm not seeing how they pop out.

Yup 2 clips indeed I would say push hard with a blunt object. It might be a good idea to heat the area with a blow dryer a little before. Looks like the emblem tabs are wider towards the outside so I would say push down and a little toward the center. If they have any adhesive as well as the clips they could be hard to remove indeed.

Thanks Ted. That's kinda what I thought. I was just hoping there was some trick that would make it easy.
