they just peeled right off and left no glue residue

definitely the easiest mod to do, but it's definitely makes the car stand out WAY more.

4 months you may need to use some goo-gone, but you might get lucky at the same time

Just use rubbing alcohol. You can buy a bottle of 60% Isopropyl (alcohol) at the Dollar store. It won't hurt your paint and it can used for anything from removing glue, to cleaning you headlight lenses, prepping areas for touch up paint, decaling, aftermarket mods etc etc.

The first MOD I did was remove the Dealership "METRO" sticker above my Mitsubishi label. It came off very quick with rubbing alcohol. They put large and reflective lettering on my car. Afterwards, I replaced their License plate cover. I hate giving free advertisment to greedy Mitsu dealers! They don't even ask beforehand.

Or you could get rid of both & find a new emblem that says GTS & put that on the passenger side? It wouldn't look so naked then & would be different.
