the only thing that will be left is a slight tan look and all you have to do to remove it is clean the area (you should use a clay bar or compound) then wax it and if you do it good enough there will be no trace that anything was ever there.

You dont need clay, Goo-gone works fine to get off the leftover adhesive.

You dont even need to wax it well. Just get the adhesive off and you will have the fresh surface under it. Within 2 weeks the paint color should sun-blend in (Regardless of color, white has it worse) and all traces will be gone. For darker colors, you dont even need to wait for the sun-fade.

I used the vht niteshades spray if you do a search for it I think there's a couple of people on here that did it. (that was my first mod after joining the forum) In case you can't find it pm me and i'll let you know exactly how I did it.

Yeah no hole in the back of the emblems.
I just shaved of the "TOYOTA", "SE V6" emblems off.
