a steering wheel roundel should just stick over the stock roundel on the steering wheel. the stock roundel is actually part of the airbag, so dont try removing it.

Correct, I don't think is removable. You have to get the CF sticker emblem.

It is NOT removable, I just stuck my CF roundel on top of the old one and it looks nice!

do NOT attempt to pry it off, the roundels are stick-overs

Pry it off like a paint can. Take a screw driver, jam it down from the top, then go around the edge.




j/k. Do what others have said.

Lol nice Xman!

I have been waiting to put my steering wheel one because I worried about having to take it off when I get rid of the car.. Anyone have any experience with this? Does the stuck on one come off easily when its time to remove it?

yes! I had the black steering wheel roundel replacement, but then recently changed it to the carbon fiber one.. the stuck on one comes off extremely easy using a fishing line in between...
