yea the emblems are held on by some weird sticky tar like substance. idk what its called but its sticky. what i did was sprayed the top of all the emblems with some goo gone and let it sit about 30min. i then pryed the top of the emblem gently back and sprayed some more good one down behind the emblem. let it sit about another hour and they popped off.

the new ones just slide into the guide holes of the old ones and push firmly.

Ok thanks! Where do you get them from? Do I need any certain part numbers or anything? And last if you don't mind how much did they run?
