Previously I had coated my emblems with 5 layers of black plasti-dip and 4 layers of plasti-dip glossifier. While the change was subtle I really liked it. Unfortunately the coating peeled off of the M and I was forced to remove it. Luckily I found someone on the forums selling his emblems, so I picked those up.

The install is pretty straightforward.
  1. Line up some painter's tape underneath the current emblems.
  2. Mark off where each emblem starts and ends.
  3. Use some dental floss to remove the current emblems
  4. Clean off the area where the new emblems will go with some detail spray and a microfiber towel. If you don't have detail spray available then some diluted vinegar will help. Also, go get some detail spray.
  5. Line up the new emblems with the markings you made earlier
  6. Make sure that the emblems are facing up. E.g. the bottom of the 2 is flatter than the top and for some reason the 5 has a flat top. You'll notice that they're both upside down in my pic. I redid them after the pic.
  7. Once all of the emblems have been installed remove the painter's tape
