Hey ima bout to get a 2.2cl 97 in White...

I want to shave the rear emblems that say 2.2 CL and ACURA

I want to ask though if these are just on there with double sided tape or are there also holes behind it?

Any tips, pics, suggestions?

thanks

 

I believe only the "A" in the middle has holes behind it..the 2.X and ACURA should only have adhesive behind them... someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

Those emblems are held on with double sided tape. Only the center "A" has 2 holes to hold the emblem.

There are several ways to "debadge" your car. The common suggestion in all ways is to make sure that the emblems (the sticky tape) is warm/hot.

I debadged mine on a hot 90 degree day, and they peeled right off.

I heard people who have heated them with a hair dryer, then ran dental floss or string behind the emblems to remove them. Use "Go Gone" to get rid of the remaining glue.

Give the area a good wax, and it should look good.

Here's mine, rebadged (the "A", "ACURA" and "3.0CL" were removed and replaced with the 2nd Gen "A" [larger] and "A C U R A"):

 

i used dental floss, hair dryer, and some wd-40. didnt have a clay bar or goo gone so i peeled that shit off with my nails, that shit hurt by the end of the day, took about a 1hr30min.

 

If the shit is really thick, try one of these:

 

rofl hahaha!

 

There are two holes, I had mine shaved and painted




edit: shit just check my "www" and you can see my back end

 

my "A" got jacked at my work.....
yo dustbuster does the 2nd gen "A" fit perfectly into the hole??

 

i think it would...i had to buy a new one and i bought an RSX one...it's bigger than the 1st gen CL one

 

It fits in the holes perfectly. However, the "A" was designed for the 2nd Gen which has a flat area to apply the "A". Our's has that crease. I simply balanced it on the crease. Turned out ok.

 

hey dust..how much was the "ACURA"?

 

About $32 from www.acuraautomotiveparts.net

 

yea dude its cake but beware if u got a dark car you will always see the acura and 2.2. i got a black 99 and couldnt get that shit off to save my life so i used spray tint on them and put them back on. looks kinda hot to me. plus it looks like black chrome with the tint on it.
