Its pretty easy the most important part is getting the glue loose on the back. You can either get a heatgun a blower dryer will work too. The other is wait for a really hot day park your car outside. The slowly but surely use dental floss or fishing wirer and and work it behind each badge till it comes off. Then use some glue gone or some other cleaning aid to get the rest of the glue off should come out really clean.

Very nice job. Not sure if this is what you did but you can take dental floss and run it gently from top to bottom and kinda pry it off that way.

What process and paint did you use to paint the front bumper? I'm getting an 09 GTS in about 2-3 weeks and I want to do the same thing to mine.
