Does anyone know of a good way to remove the factory emblems off of a 2005 Monte Carlo without damaging the car's finish?

Floss works wonders for that. Use it like a saw..

a buddy and i used a heat gun to peel mine off the buffed the paint out. have to be careful not to melt the paint though.

do you mean taking off the stickers or taking of a emblem as a piece of moulding? If you mean the decals you can go to a body shop supply store and buy what they call an eraser it has a rubber like wheel and spins around operated by air and it will safely remove the decals without burning the paint,,they erase right off. then a little buffing and you are good to go.
