Looks good! What was your "technique" for removing the originals?

i did it on a warm afternoon...tried the floss but it kept braking....so I used a plastic set of trim tools wides one and pushed it down through double sided tape....then I pried the tabs out...I sprayed the remaining adhesive with wd40 and let it sit for a few and it rubbed right off...sprayed the leftover wd40 and entire area with purple power degreaser to clean it up....then just applied the new badges.

Warmed the DS tape, String to break the bond, Reached down inside the fender opening by the hood brackets, used a plastic trim tool to put a little tension on the emblem with one hand and with the other hand in opening pinched the spring clips with my fingers...POPS right off. Cleaned with 3M Cleaner, Wax, mounted new emblem!

This is one way if you're trying to save the ones you're taking off. I was a little more impatient and used some needle nose plyers and started pulling it off (destroying it) once I had used fishing line.
