^^^ what i want to do is remove the "SCION", "PIONEER", "MP3" & "SAT ready" badges that are on the stereo (but without damaging the stereo appearance/plastic). for a clean look.

if anybody can point me the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.

Anything I can think of to remove the paint will also remove the plastic. Best suggestion from me, remove the faceplate, and have it painted. You might lose the other little labels as well, but those are the breaks.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

You might also consider covering the front with stick-on vinyl. You can cut it to fit and it's available to match almost any vehicle's interior, including stuff that looks pretty close to wood.
