I left mine on the truck and taped them up good with blue painters tape and newspaper so if it ran it wouldnt get on the paint shroville, you can get acetone at any parts store or even walmart or lowes it takes the black paint off the emblems, i used qtips and paper towels it just takes patience and time but imo it was well worth it

that look really good, think i might do mine this weekend. do you have to tape off the XLT decals, or does it not bother those.
