De-Badgeing
I have a question I will be De-Badgeing my 01 TL this weekend. What do I use to get off emblems? I also plan to put on the Black Chrome A and ACURA on the back, but not the 3.2TL. I will also re-wax these areas. What do I use to put these back on? The ACURA has the Adhesive on the back. Do, I use anything else? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about installing the emblem, I think it sticks on like the others. I would imagine the new emblem you have would have the adhesive already on it. I would use an alchohol pad to remove any wax to make sure the new glue holds tight.
As far as debadging goes
I recommend getting teflon dentral floss and use that in an up and down motion while going sideways. It will pop the letters/numbers right off along with the majority of the glue. Then, use some Goo Gone to get of the remaining residue. If you have an outline in the paint, no worries, some regular ol Turtle Wax will buff that right out and you will be officially debadged. I have done quite a few cars this way. Rarely did I have to use any Goo Gone, just got some wax to get of what was left. Never had scratches or any issues doing it this way. Others may have their own technique, just sharing mine with you.
Good Luck! You'll love the look when you are done.

High pressure sandblaster will take it right off.......
Just kidding. I didn't use anything to take the actualy emblems off, just a twist and pull motion and then I used goo gone to get the adhesive off. I had to take all the emblems of to install the Mugen lip spoiler.
