I've known people to get good results using a hair dryer or heat gun to help loosen the adhesive, and then dental floss or fishing line for removal. When using a heat gun, be careful not to overheat the paint.

Also keep in mind that there are holes in the trunk so if you want to debadge the car you must fill them up and repaint the area.

Dont forget Goo gone or WD40 to get rid of the dried on adhesive from the emblems.

Maybe, but get some more estimates and see if you could find a lower price than that, good luck.
