However, on the passenger side, you would "read" supercharged badge from trunk to hood with the parallelogram closer to the trunk side. On the driver side, it would be closer to the hood. Would that look okay do you think?
Either way, I'll still wait for red ones.

I've heard a couple of ways to accomplish this.
Let your car sit in the sun for an hr, then use dental floss to go in behind the badge and pull it along the badge. There will probably be some adhesive left, so you'll need to use something like 'goo gone' to get rid of the residue.
or
Use a hair dryer (or professional heat gun) to heat up the badge, but don't just point it at the area. You should use a swiping motion back and forth across the badge to heat up the glue. Then you can use fishing line to do the same as above.
I'll probably just have the dealership do mine before delivery.

Some people are making this way too complicated. Heat it up with a hair dryer, spray WD40 on it, work the floss till the badge comes off. Heat up again to losen up the adhesive, spray with WD40 and gently wipe till the residue comes off. Work one letter at a time. Took me a total of about 20 minutes to do both sides. Use a good quality floss BTW.
