they have little studs that go in the bumper and you have to pull em out it shouldnt be hard BUT i did a friends and his glue was in there too so it made it difficult

3M Double back tape works fine for putting them back on.

You can use dental floss to pull them up a bit, help get through the glue.

makes me want to put on matte black badges on.... but still prefer the clean look

my uncle owns a body shop when i get some cash i think if i gave him a 12 pack and like 40 bucks hed bondo and paint it for me so i may just go completely de-badge but this is defiantly a good x
