I paid around $33 each for the supercharged badges at Carlson Audi in Palo Alto.

Yeah, my dealer said $200 for both at time of order - do it now or it will cost $250 later!! I said no thanks and did them myself later for about $60 plus shipping.

If you buy it from a website, how do you know how to line it up perfectly and where exactly it should go. Also what do you put on the badge to make it stick to the car and stay? Thanks.

YBH Audi in Newtown Square, Pa won't do the badge swap. I went in there to set it up and the service guy made me an appointment. They wanted to charge $40 bucks for it and then when I came in the service manager comes out and says they want to do it and I have to go to a body shop.
Typical of YBH, they are a pain in the *** every time I have tried to work with them. They also won't do any kind of after market install or won't even look at your car if you have aftermarket products.
Their prices are high, they think they are something special when they are a little shop thriving on existing customers with money in our area, and act like they're doing their customers a favor. When in reality all they are going to do is bend you over and tell you to have a coke and a smile. Last time I go to that place ever.

badges come with 3m adhesive on the back that you just peel off and press on the car. I ended up doing it myself after the dealer was a pain in the A$$. Very easy. Also, check eBay often as I found badges from china that are exact OEM reproductions. For 3 badges it was $34 bucks + free shipping. I did they got pulled off by eBay for copyright infringement a week or two after I got them, but who knows they will mask themselves again and be right back on eBay.

Adhesive is on the back and a down-loadable template is used to line them up perfectly. It easy. Stay away from anything that is not genuine Audi, I suspect you will be sorry when they tarnish, fade, corrode, etc.
