I'm pretty sure you just need to take the one that says 96" off and replace it with the new skull insert.

Those are pretty sticky, I used a light prying force and believe me they bend sooooo easy.
Might try a hair dryer to remove them.??

Hairdryer, WD-40 and a bit of patience, pulling evenly around the perimeter of the trim. The instructions say to remove it, but I never knew you could leave it on until stbob07 posted (but that could be for the Dyna teardrop cover).
