Alright guys in order to take off the badge in the back of your car you need 3 things.
1. Fishing Line or Floss
2. Goo Gone or Goof off (Any component that'll work like these)
3. Heat Gun or Hair Dryer (I'll Explain later)
4. Towel or Rag

Heat up the Fishing Line or Floss but be careful it will become hot to touch. ( I didn't use the hair dryer because it wasn't heating up the fishing line it must of been not strong enough or something)
Since the fishing line had ridges on it I was able to pull the string back and forth and it cut right through the 3MM double sided tape.

When your done cutting through the tape behind the back of your badge it should look like this.

Once your done with that grab the badge and gently pull it off.

Your then done removing the badge now it's time to remove the glue residue left from the badge.

Then use your glue remover in my case I use Goo Gone it's one of the best.

Spray it on like so

I put a shop rags wedge under the trunk so the spray doesn't run down the bumper.

I used my nail to scratch off the glue that wouldn't come off. I don't recommend using anything else because you'll most likely scratch the paint which i'm sure you don't want to do

If your not planning on washing the car when your done removing the badge atleast rinse off the area you worked on to take off excess grime and whatnot from the tape and the component you used.
