The back is very simple. The "L" emblem pops off with using a plastic pry tool which sewell provides. Ther are two holes that hold the new black pearl emblem to the car. For the lettering,I used fishing line and ran it behind the letters to break apart the glue that holds them on. Then used the prying tool to get them off. It was very easy. After they were off I used some Gu Gone and cleaned the area and put the black pearl letter back on.
There are a few great DIY threads on here if you use the search function.

The front emblem is more difficult then the back. Sewell sends new pieces for everything on the front emblem so that includes the clamps that hold it to the car. Because you get new clamps, you are able to break the clamps that are on the original emblem. That is the only way I was able to get my front emblem off. I don't know anyone on the forum that was able to get the front off clean without breaking one of the clamps. You'll have to break one of the clamps and the other side will pop off.

What is everyone paying to get the grille surround and window trimmed vinyl wrapped, Tai has the exact look I'm going for with my Nebula 350 and I'm curious how much it would cost to have it done professionally (it's not worth me screwing it up)

I paid around $200 for mine (grill and window trim).
I'm not 100% happy with the way it turned out though. It looks great from about 10 feet away, but upon a closer view, there is a bit of orange peel (coming from the underside, from the adhesive) and the edges aren't completely flat in some areas.
I've been told that a few other local places could have done a better job, so I may consider getting a refund and giving it another shot.

Does anyone think it would look good to get a black coloured frame with the Ultra White, or should I stick with the UW frame? Anyone have pics with it with the Ultra White?
