As long as you take them off correctly then you can just re-apply 3M to the back and slap them back on

If it's die cut tape I'd just wait. I'll make it look cleaner then if you try and reapply it and cut it out yourself. Unless you can get Muffinbuster to just sell you a set of pre cut tape.

i had to get my front end painted.. and they removed them, and put them back on no problem.. just make sure u tell them to put them in the exact spot them were.. like i think its 2 fingers across from the inside, and two fingers up..
