..remove the rear [A] ? I dont know how to without fukn it up.

Thanks

 

do a search. there are plenty of instructions

 

actualy did search. couldnt find any..
thanks anyway then

 

give me a few min

 

MATERIALS: hair dryer, dental floss/fishing line, 3M adhesive remover (can be bought at walmart in the car cleaner area), a rag, and a hot summer day.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) make sure you do this after the car has been sitting in the sun for hours b/c this will help in the process.

2) plug in your hair dryer and make sure its on high heat. Blow it downwards pointing it towards the back of the emblem. Blow it until you can feel it starting to come loose as you gently tug on it.

3) spray the 3M adhesive remover on the hot adhesive as you hold a rag beneath the emblem. The rag is to prevent the adhesive from running down your paint.

4) Let the adhesive penetrate the glue for a few minutes and then check to see if it is more loose. (Don't start yanking it totally off just b/c you feel it more loose also do not use the hair dryer as you're waiting for the adhesive to do its thing. Doing so will dry out the 3M remover)

5) Now use the fishing line/dental floss to gently slide it behind the emblem but make sure both ends of the fishing line/floss are pulled towards you as you "see-saw" side to side. The reason to try to get in btw the adhesive and the emblem itself is to prevent paint peeling off your car if the glue is still not hot yet.

6) If it is still stubborn, continue steps 1-5 again. Remember, be patient and do not yank it off until you think it is ready to come off safely. Do this at your own risk!

 

lol i guess imma have to look like an ass but thats is for removing the "3.2tl" and "acura" which i already know how and done.. lol thanks but i guess i juss ask this it this way then.. is the [A] held on by 2 screws that i would have to remove from inside first or juss pull off as it is juss 2 pins which i dont know.. so thanks TLballer... n i mean it hah not scartistly..[sp??].. yeah

 

yeah do the same method i posted up but instead of yanking it downward, you pull the a downward and outward at the same time - if that makes any sense. you cant go into the trunk and push the pegs out.. I did this to my previous honda. it works the same way

 

sweet then. i thought they had 2 screws holding them in.. well lots of thanks . fyi i want to remove it to paint it black cuz i did to to my grill / front [A], so i juss wanted it to match.. thanks alot man

 

I wonder how it will look painted black, with the chrome trim around the license plate.

What color is your car?

 

Granite Silver Pearl.

EDIT: probly come out ugly.. who knows hah .. but if so ill buy the oem ones .. cant do that to my babi

 

The "A" emblem has two pins as a way to align the emblem correctly. So if you take that off, there'll be two holes showing.

 

im not taking em' off to keep them of..... their are going back in.... ? lol

 

Oh...I knew that.

 

yeah, shes been siting around collecting dust.. so i wanted to start doing things, since i just go a job, still want to black out the headlighs and put in the halos ive made, hopefuly buy the inspire 'crack' taillights fron longeyes.. hah iono what im doing with crack lights but yeah.. and so enuff some rims not to fancy.. so yeah.. blacking out the emblems first step..hah

 

My car had the hideous gold treatment at some point, and I am in the process of painting the trim back to silver. I have done a search and cannot find instructions to remove the rear trim piece around the license plate so I can de-gold the trim piece around the plate. Trying not to break it. I scuffed up the plastic I have pulled off so far, and the chrome spray paint is not going on so well.....

 

thats going to be a tough one...

 

I know it, I may just end up buying salvage parts, if I can find them. The rear trim thing is the one piece I dont have off.
