Default Re-Using Rick's S badges?

Rick, Can you or anyone else tell me if your S badges can be taken off and re-used again. I am having my front bumper cover replaced this week due to a fender bender, and thought about taking off the S badge and trying to install somewhere in the interior. What is the best way to remove and not lose it's stick?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I actually did this - this week. I made a mess of taking off the badge with goo-off and dental floss, before i finally just ripped the damn thing off. - it turned out fine - and when i got the bumper re-painted, I just stuck it back on, and it stuck fine. The badges are flexible, so it worked pretty well.

I believe I read in the installation instructions that the adhesive is strong enough to be removed and stuck back once.

I know Rick said he was having trouble with the current badges, and he was going to have the redesigned or something https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...highlight=ricks . Frustrating. I've been waiting for 2 months. It's getting hard to wait.

i've reused the badges. they're stuck on pretty good. i'd recommend a heat blower or a really good hair dryer. heat up the badge and use dental floss.
-good luck
