I just took them off like I took the "Acura" and "3.0CL" off. The pins is just to hold it into place and you can take off the "A" and back it back on no problem.

The gold emblems is an optional feature. So they probably paid more just to have it in gold.

I hate gold on cars. Reminds me of those old nasty caddys. To each their own though.

Take some fishing line and seperate the adhesive, the emblem should just pull right out. The pins are just that. Pins. They dont clip in or anything. The pins are just there to center the emblem. The thing that is actually holding the emblem in place is nothing more than adhesive.

the crap in the middle is not there anymore...just the left side had all this bumpy crap...like the paint raised or something....should i just wet sand it down and just clearcoat it?? repainting the whole trunk is the LAST option....
