The tape used to reposition the emblems is likely not the same as OEM, so I wouldn't DIY emblem removal on this one.

It looks beautiful!
I recommend, while your paint looks brand new right now, to invest in the clear bra. It will SAVE the front of your car!! If you just spent all that time and money on this TSX, you'll hate seeing the paint chips from rocks and other road debris. I can't say enough about how it has saved my TSX.
