That should be a pretty easy swap Bruce. Any adhesive can be removed with 3M adhesive remover and some high-test fishing line. Mark off the old badges with painter's tape so you know where the new badges should be placed. Are you purchasing new badges in black, or having the old ones painted / plasti-dipped?

You can heat it up with a blow dryer also and then use fishing line behind it and work from one end to the other. You don't have to heat it but it makes the adhesive a little more pliable and then just pop the new ones on.
