Default Door Sill Replacement

I was thinking about buying the "Brushed Aluminum Door Sill Plates" for my 2009 C6. The current ones are all scratched up...


Can anyone give a push in the right direction on how to remove the old ones?

Use a hair dryer to warm it up, then it will peel right off.

These are stickers? So the Aluminum ones just stick right on?
