Badge Removal

This may have been covered once so sorry if it is repeat...when one removes the badging from the car, does it leave holes or are they just glued on?
Thanks,
CN

The Acura symbol has locating holes for placement. All other emblems only use adhesive (no holes).

use a hair drier and dental floss and it'll take about 5 minutes.

You use a screwdriver and wedge it really hard under the A symbol and push it out using the trunk lid as leverage...

I sprayed mine with WD-40...i really covered them in that shit until the trunk was dripping (it wont harm the paint) and then i used some dental floss to get me started but then i pealed them off SLOWLY 1 by 1.

I was done in 8 minutes. Then I washed the car and waxed the trunk to get the "outline" from each letter off.

PIECE OF CAKE.

LOL!!!

Well, on a serious note, wear some sort of gloves when using dental floss cause it can cut your hands...

All you need is dental floss. No hair dryer, gloves, wd-40, screwdriver, hacksaw
needed. It's cake.

You will need to use your finger to rub off the rest of the tape. P.S. If you think it's been asked already, then it's probably on my FAQ!!
