I live in NJ and right now its about 20 degrees F. Do you guys think I should wait to replace the badges on the outside? I already swapped out the steering wheel last night

Yes! Wait. The adhesive wont hold nearly as well. Unless you can get a hair dryer on the car and the emblem to get them both warm I would wait.

I was able to just rub off the left over adhesive. I'd go with rubbing alcohol if I needed help though.

That is the best place I found to get them, and they have a ton of different styles for the emblems too. As soon as the weather warms up a bit more I will be swapping out parts myself on my Koup.
