Thanks
I took mine off with a cheap credit card and a blow dryer. It softens the glue/tape and it came of easily.

I popped it off with a credit card, it has two prong type nipples that attach it to the car. The new roundel should have them also, pop it right in. Heads up, the steering wheel roundel doesn't come off, as bad as I wanted to replace it to match the new set....it's part of the air bag and could pose a hazard if deployed.

Good luck.

GOOD INSIGHT! I surely was looking to buy the matching steering wheel roundel just moments ago and almost did. Glad I saw your post first. Thanks again man!

the aftermarket c/f steering wheel roundel is adhesive backed so it just sticks on over your original roundel.
