Steps :
- Protect the surface around the emblem with the tapes so that you won’t give any scratches
- Remove the star on the grill by pulling it. Here is the position of lock claws.
- Turn the black back part of the star to the left for about 30 degrees, and then pull out
- Push up the emblem by giving force to the pin from the back side.
- At the surface side, insert a credit card, and/or a plastic made interior stripping tool, and pull out the emblem
- Place the new hood badge emblem, just pressing from upper side
- Put the star on the grill back. That's it!
