use something thin like a creditcard and pluck them off, they might leave marks that u would have to buff and wax the spots....real EZ!

lilke the others said, use a license or dental floss to peal them off, then use googone to get rid of any left over adheasive. then buff and wax the area and you are all set. heating them up with a hair dryer helps out.

I did it on a hot day with dental floss and googone. Just take your time and it comes off nice and easy.

Googone does make removal cleaner and easier but is not needed.
i removed mine with a hair dryer, and floss.
try to remove the excess gunk right after each letter while it's still warm,
just by rubbing/rolling it off with your fingers.

That's what I did. Let it sit with the emblems facing the sun for about a half hour... some dental floss... came right off. Used GooGone to get the residue off... quick wax of the area and done.

15 minutes tops....

So you're just leaving the little "type-s" badge? when i bought my car used, it was like that, but i didnt like it. i thought it looked kinda weird with just this little tiny badge in the corner. what i did though was put back just the TL and not the 3.2. I know its one piece, i just broke it off, and painted it a little bit to cover up the break.

Does the Acura symbol come off also or does it have holes behind it?

I agree as some fucker ripped it off my car this morning!!

Whats worse is that they fucking gouged the paint to get at it. Why is it that you cant have anything nice without some asshole to come along and do this kinda shit?

So does anyone know how much one of those things cost?
