Yep, I ended up buying something similar, except my kit had a stick on steering wheel roundel too. The steering wheel roundel is actually part of the air bag cover, so you can't take it out. I just stuck it on.

The prongs on the trunk roundel in the kit that I got were in a slightly different location than they should have been. I ended up cutting them off and using layers of 3M tape to fix the concavity issue. Still have a bit of gap in some areas, but not noticeable until you look close. And as for the hood, I have a CF hood so no holes for prongs, so I ended up cutting the prongs off the hood emblem too and just taping it on. Hood looks fine.

I just wish there was a better way...
