Mine has all the metal decals drilled into the body.

i went to the dealer a few days before it arrived and told them NO DEALER BADGES on it [licence plate frames were ok though..]

the rest of the badges were off in about 45 min.. all you have to do is get the badge off, then use the wheel to grind the adheasive off... works great, just make sure the paint is clean around the area you are grinding at, then a little wd40 to take off the last little bits of goo, then just a quick wash...
now if a pro was at it, 30min seems like something that could be done for all the badges..

Thanks guys for making me feel old. The cars I normally work on are pre-70s.
I assumed that these were mounted the same. Guess that's what you get when you assume things.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll probably remove mine now that I know they are just glued on.
James Lucas, I sure like that clean look.

I want to remove mine because I dislike chrome. 
I have a black sport package and the chrome emblems clash. And I am still trying to find a good replacement grill to take out the chrome billet thing that I have.

Now that you mention it I don't like the "old style" emblems anymore. They date the truck. Hmmmmmmm. Would be cool for people not to know what you have under da hood. 
Maybe put a Hemmi emblem on it!
Nice looking rig! Black looks great clean.
