Rick's S badges install questions
Just got a couple Ricks "S" badges for Christmas. I was wanting to install them but I read in the directions that it needs to be 70 degrees or warmer and after installing cannot be in contact with outside weather. Is this really necessary? Seems like it is just standard adhesive and I have stuck things before and always seemed well secured right away. Is there a certain reason for these precautions? Is it needed or is it just a precautionary measure? Since it's my daily driver I don't know when I will be able to just park it for 90 hours and wait for the badges to adhere.
Please let me know your experiences with installing them.

As crappy as it sounds you should really wait until spring. I have a decal for my windblocker that I got in October but can't install until the spring because of the same weather requirements.
Even in a garage it just doesn't get warm enough this time of year.

I'm not worried about getting the old one off, just want to make sure that it will stay on if I put it on in this weather. If I warm the garage up a bit so it stays at least a little bit warm. If it's above freezing what does the higher temp requirements help with? I guess I could wait but would much rather put them on and not wait the 4 or so months. I don't want to do it at risk of them peeling off however.
The steering wheel badge should be ok to go though correct? Stays much warmer inside and not exposed to any snow or rain or anything.

Make sure when you do the front you take a good look at the holes where the oem badge was removed make sure there are no ridges around the holes as they will show through the rick's badge. I unfortunately found out the hard way. I will have to get a new one and remove the old and dremel the ridge around the holes.
