There shouldn't be any holes on there...at least there isn't on an exec. The hardest part is removing the nasty black sticky stuff afterwards. The easiest way I've heard of is using dental floss and working your way in from one end of the badge and gently sawing up and down with the floss. Then using eucalyptus oil to get rid of the black glue.

don't know about how it would effect the paint though.

i used fishing line, much like dental floss, and then i got as much of that sticky black **** off as i could and gave the clear a quick sand with 1200 and buffed, and now you wouldn't of known that they were there in the first place.

The best bit about using the dental floss is that it's waxxed, so it slides through the black gunk a bit easier. But fishing line is the next best thing.

I used fishing line. i had to wrap the ends round 2 sticks coz it was cutting me though. i then used some of that 'citro clean'. the black glue came off like a dream. its a shame that the rest of my car doesnt have the shine and gloss of the paint underneath the badges though. U can see the difference in paint quality when u get up close.
