As others have stated, just peel them off very slowly - that's what I did. I had the dealer put one of their stickers on the rear left of the hatch, and I removed it ASAP. I simply peeled it off slowly, and then used Bug & Tar remover to remove the excess adhesive - it worked very easy.
Good luck!

You could also go to auto parts store and get a adhesive/decal remover. It is an aerosol car that removes the decal and sadhesive without damaging the paint. I used it and got the goo right off and after a wax no paint color difference.

thin fishing wire to slip between emblem and body, eraser wheel from paint shop to clean the mess, and a coat of wax.

My dealer has a crossed checkered flags logo that is kind of cool. But I may still nuke it.

You can peel it off then use some googone to get rid of teh sticky stuff, If you want to debadge it just use fishing line or dental floss and googone... works like I charm I did it to my lancer, you can't even tell it was there.

Aren't you import guys supposed to keep the badges on and add big red Rs?
