    Very simple, main thing is not to harm the paint, it is soft and will scratch.

    Step 1. *Use a credit card, plastic puddy knife, or 20 lb fishing line to remove the double stick tape on the back of the Decals of your choice. *The only one to leave is the badge on the front bumper (holes behind).

    Step 2. *Use WD-40 with a microfiber towel or just your thumb (careful of nails) and wipe any left over tape off.

    Step 3. *Apply and remove your favorite wax after wiping off any WD-40 residue.

    Step 4. *Take a picture and post it here!

    has anyone attempted taking off the front badge? I have a replacement for it, but curious if it is just as easy as the rest of the badges. . .

    No/Yes. It does have 2 holes behind it. I am having them as well as license plate holes filled this fall. It is double sided tape from what I can find out.

    Nope, it is attached differently, its not just a sticker.

    Charlie, he's talking about the front arrowhead. I dunno, never tried to take it off.

    Didn't SRG963 swap his front arrow head for a blue one or blue tinted one?

    I can't find any specifics on the front arrowhead; only that it has pegs into the fascia. Maybe you can look inside the fascia and tell how it's attached?
