Why would you want to remove it. Do you want to put a three pointed star in it or something?

Baby hammer, which is enough to damage this cap.

Get some dental floss, feed it under the emblem, then pull the floss in one direction while (left or right) while sliding down. It will cut the adhesive right off underneath it. If the floss breaks, use braided fishing line.

The dealer changes the entire air bag cover. That's the only way they do it.
