I am going to be replacing my front bumper with a new ('03) OEM front bumper and I was wondering if anyone had tried to remove and then reinstall Rick's badges.... I'd rather not order another one...because mine is still in really good condition (unlike the bumper)....

Any advice on this is GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks in advance!

i have removed and reinstalled several.
easier to remove than the stock badges-
have removed and reinstalled twice on my own car too.
(once to change color and once because i didnt get the badge perfectly straight the first time).
after removing and reapplying, they dont have as much stick as before- but its still enough to hold them just fine.
one hint is to pull slowly and try not to bend the badge too much as you pull it off.

Also if you do it in direct sunlight on a warm day makes it easier. Slow is the key. Also if you still have the backing that came with them, use it to store them.

Heating with a hair dryer helps too.

I have also removed mine without any problems. Make sure you heat the badge a little bit.
