Instructions on removing Porsche hood crest?

I just purchased a silver Porsche crest to replace the gold one on the hood, but can't seem to find any instructions for doing the swap.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I replaced the rear turbo emblem with the black satin one from bumperplugs.com. Eric, thanks for the great service! I am enjoying the new look very much.

I think its a deep 10mil or 8 mil socket remove the two nuts you will see holes behind crest, be careful when removing so they dont drop they have a soft glue on them then pull crest off easy! putting back on is a little more challenging, the rubber gasket is hard to fit around crest try useing old one put back on and dont tighten nuts too much good luck!

easy swap, I installed the silver crest a while back.

They attach via a push on, non locking device, simply losen with socket and then use some needle nose or similar and pull and twise at the same time, they come off easily.

Reinstall is a simple push on with socket (required due to the gooey stuff to hold them down that is attached to them).
