Went thru the same deal with my last 35. I was positive they were vynil, after an hour with a heat gun I came to the brilliant conclusion they were paint 
. I wet sanded them off, make sure to use a sanding block to keep it flat, then buffed up and installed the new style chrome logo. If you spend the time to blend the sanding process out a little way beyond the area you will never see it. They are for sure painted on there like BI says.

Completed this task today. Did it in less than three hours from start to finish. Using a heavy duty sanding block, I wet sanded with 800 until most of the paint, but not all, was gone. Then I changed to 1500 to finish the paint letter removal. I then used a buffing compound (Tru-Grit) to bring back the shine. Wiped the surface down with acetone to be sure it was perfectly clean and carefully applied the stick on letters. Looks awesome!
