Yes brand new car. Should be no issues or holes behind the badges correct? Just adhesive is behind the badges I assume. Thanks

It's just 3M automotive adhesive tape. If you warm them with a hairdryer (just keep touching the paint to see that it's not getting too hot), and then use waxed dental floss to cut through adhesive. I just used my thumb to rub most of the adhesive off, use WD-40 to remove the rest, and quick application of wax.

If you have the SQ, that back one on the rear door is a PITA due to the large amount of tape under the SQ portion.

Pete, that looks really nice with blackline tails, but did you remove audi rings from tail too?
Also, did you tint the reflectors, or is it plastidip (i hope not) ?
