its really easy.. let the car sit in the sun or warm the emblems up with hairdrier.. they are held on by 3m tape, the softer that stuff gets the easier it is to remove.. use a plastic scraper or something that wont scratch to help pry the stock emblems off..

Then just get rid of all the leftover tape residue (goo gone etc) and wipe the area with alcohol before you stick the new ones on...

That seems exceptionally easy for something they are claiming you need a professional to install.

It costs too much. That's why I won't buy a set. It would look good on my Monterey blue.

3SeventyZ are you planning to black out your Door Handles?

I've been trying to decide what to do with them..
I can't decide if I should color match them, do a flat black finish, or shave them completely off..

I'd really like to switch it up and somehow have the GTR's door handles transplanted onto the Z.
I really like the flush look and the design of the handle itself.
Not sure if it's at all possible, but just something I've been thinking about..

Hmm... I'm not a fan of the GTR handles myself. But it would be interesting to see it in real life as opposed to PS cuts... I wanna color match mine. I just think the silver stands out waaaay too much for Black.
