It's very common. You have four choices really.
1) Get new ones under warranty which will most likely peel again.
2) Go for the all chrome look and use some acetone (Don't get it on the paint) and wipe out the rest of the coloring.
3) Take the badges off. I think that the bigger F-series badges actually have alignment pins on the back so you'll have to do something about the two small holes behind this one if you choose it.
4) Get some custom made billet aluminium ones made by http://www.billetbadges.com/. These can actually have any text on them that you want. Really kewel!!

I posted a fix for this a while back but again, call Recon accessories at
877 377 3266. They have vinyl stickers and look great when applied. They have every color available. My brother had the same issue and bought the vinyl stickers. you will be very happy. The only issue is you must take your time because once applied the vinyl sticker is on for good.
