front and rear emblem replacement question

Sup all,
I just ordered the front and rear efini emblems and was wondering how to remove the old emblems and install the new? Are the back of the emblems bolted in, pressed in, clipped??? Do I need to drop my front bumper to access a nut and bolt set-up?? Here is another question: Does the efini emblems use the same mounting holes as the U.S. emblems? Sorry for all the questions but just want to know.

thanks
Kelvin

Clips. you can reach the front if you try hard enough. I have decent size hands I guess and I was able to get my hands down to get them. The backs were harder to get to. I tried, but lost those clips, so I used silicon to hold it in place.

Yes they do.

you can use a small flathead and pry slowly, or use a hard credit like card to wedge up...it may scratch underneath but the Efini will cover it...

Umm... you guys forgot to mention the sticky glue stuff thats under them that holds them on... I used a rubbing compound and a creditcard to scrape that stuff off...

Use some dental floss and saw back and forth helps getting under the sticky stuff without hurting the paint. Use the Gortex stuff.
