Replacing hood crest badges

I just orderd this for my 04 GT3
ANy suggestions on how to get it on.
The holes under the hood look really small.
Like a long 8 socket or thin needle nose?

Once you get started it's very easy. Long deep socket and/or needlenose pliers. The trick is really in the proper alignment of the emblem on top of the rubber gasket. If I recall the retaining hardware is not threaded nor are the emblem studs, they are a tapered design and the nuts just slide on/in and seem to hold pretty well, kind of like a "speed" nut if you know what that is.

If you mess it up or need advice, try 'e'mailing Eric Sklut @ Bumperplugs. He be the man. (unless you bought the emblem elsewhere)
