Yeehaw
to elaborate a small bit.... heat up the emblems with the hair dryer, then slide the dental floss back and forth behind them once you have warmed the adhesive. they should come right off.
the adhesive can be a bitch, if goo gone and a rag won't get it off, you might want to try scraping it off with a credit card.
then wax the hell out of it when you are done.
dont take off the actual acura 'A' emblem, there are holes behind it.

I don't understand it, I have never seen a dealer do it out here, but you go on the east coast and EVERY car has one. I mean literally, i've NEVER seen a dealer do it out here.

Welcome ccannizz11, Good to see that there is someone else from MN in here. I just "shaved" the ACURA, and 3.2CL this weekend, but left the "A" and the Type S in the upper corner, looks pretty clean.
Be sure to wax it when you are done to make it look really clean.

I wouldn't worry too much about the fading of your paint, Mine is a 01 as well, and I cannot tell at all where the badges were located. And my car is black. It shouldn't be a problem with your paint. (silver if I remember correctly.)
