just have it on a hot day and slowly!!! put your nail or take a flat head screwdriver and take it off then you will have to get the excess tape off do this by takin alchol on a papertowel and just rub it off it will work good and look great

hmmm....wonder if there's going to be holes underneath the emblems? Cuz i know my sister's 91 integra's trunk or hood emblem(can't remember) had 2 holes when she removed the factory emblem. probably not since your only taking off "CURA" and "2.5TL"

No!! Do not just yank off your emblem on a hot day and rub alcohol on your car to get that glue off!! because just yanking it off ruins your paint and alcohol just KILLS your paint!! this is what you do... drive your car into your garage or anywhere you can get access to an outlet. then get a hair dryer..plug it in..and blow dry whichever emblem you want off (to melt the glue or adhesive) keep blowing on the emblem as you try to pull it off...don't force it off..let it come off smoothly. I haven't taken off the emblems on my TL but im SURE there are no holes on the "ACURA" emblem and the "2.5" emblem. Im pretty sure there is only holes in the acura sign (that circle with the arrow sign) tell me how it works out =o)

I took them off with a small flathead wrapped with a rag and just rubbed the glue off and waxed it. The "A" has 2 rivets and glue around the circle so you cant take it off unless you plan on replacing it with a different one. I took my chrome ones off and replaced them with black chrome.

all u gotta do is take your license or any card and slide it underneath the 2.5 and the acura, it will pop off, it is on there with adhesive, so the only mark that will remain is that of the adhesive, which can easily b rubbed away with a solution, or you can jus take a minute and scrath away at it with your nails

I used goo gone to get off as much as possible, then had my cousin cut and buff the rest of the stuff off. It left it flawless

When mine was removed the trunk already had imprints from the emblem which sucked.
