I had a buddy slightly pry it while I ran a very sharp razor blase around the edges to break the glue seal. To replace I cleaned all the old glue off and cleaned it......once that is off you will need I believe it was an 8mm hex type screwdriver ( I just butchered what the name of the tool is). Take off base, clean, tighten back on and apply new roundel. Done!

I hope this helps!:D

Just got my cf roundels and ready to install. You didnt say how the front came off. Thanks in advance.

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.
