Re: anyone here remove the factory SRT6 badge
Better to use a hair dryer if you want to save the badge. I used a heat gun and it was too hot. The badge came off easy enough, but it partially melted the plastic. If you have a heat gun use a low setting if it has one, or keep a little distance from the nozzle. BTW Tupperware orange peeler is made of a flexible plastic with small chisel shaped edge on one side. No sharp edges, lets you get under the glue to peel the badge off.

The residue can be removed with a little GlueBeGone or WD-40. I've had emblems on other cars that were on pretty good so I had to drip D-40 behind the emblem to soak the gooey stuff adhering it to the car.
Also, the paint will have faded on the car and you will probably have to do some polishing to even the color of the paint behind the emblem with the paint that has been exposed to the elements. I have a black car and I can still see the outline of the letters where I removed the Crossfire letters, BUT I'm the only one that can see it; everyone else tries and fails to see it--maybe I'm seeing things from spending so much time blending the paint under the letters?

WD-40 shoud NEVER go on any painted surface of a car. It has silicone in it that will, in the future, wreak havoc if the car needs to be repainted.
Re: anyone here remove the factory SRT6 badge
You're right in that stuff with silicone might affect future repaints, but WD-40 does not contain any silicone.
This is another (s)urban myth. You can check here WD-40 Facts here

Ingredients in WD-40 are "secret", WD-40 does NOT contain, silicone, kerosene, water, wax, graphite, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or any known cancer-causing agents.

Very interesting, when I worked for BMW of North America at their collision repair training center they banned WD-40 from the bodyshop because they said it contained silicone(which causes fish eyes in paint when you refinish).
