It's easy. They are just held on by 3M tape or a tape like residue. Heat them, peel them off, clean the surface thoroughly, then wipe with alcohol, spray a little adhesion promoter on there (not much, just a little) and slap that bad boy into position.

Most of the outer emblems are applied with double sided 3m tape. A thin plastic edge works well to get under them. A body filler spreader OR a vinyl squeegee work well. A last resort is some heat from a blow dryer. Usually, with the newer emblems, heat is not necessary.

be aware, when prying off the original emblem, its held on by 3m tape .. but it is also stabbed into the fender. you will have to use a little force to get the center to give out. I suggest flossing through both sides to the center until it gets stuck, then pop it off.

Definitely gotta get it from both sides of the center prong.

Floss tends to break, I used fishing line to cut through mine.
