removing the M emblems?
 

does anyone know how to remove the emblems off the protege front abd back

I am pretty sure they are held in place by clips, not adhesive. If you remove them you'l l need to fill in the holes, unless you are just taking them out to paint them.

My front had adhesive :) - still came off easily for painting.

Adhesive and 2 little prongs. Get a thin flathead or a butter knife. Easy as pie.

do i get it from behind the bumper or can i just pull them out?

You pull from the front...gently.
