I've done it but I don't have any pictures at the moment. I can take some and put them up tomorrow but the Acura A inside the circle is still on the trunk because that emblem has posts that go into the trunk meaning it would leave holes and I didn’t want to go through the trouble of filling them then painting them. I used a heat gun but a hair drier will work too. Oh and don’t forget the Goo Gone to take off the remaining glue.

I took off just the "3.2 TL" from the upper right corner of the trunk to give it a 50-50 look. Because there's nothing in the upper left corner, I think it looks great. No regrets here! BTW, the "A" and "ACURA" are still there. If you want pics, PM and let me know.

DEBADGING INSTRUCTIONS - VERY EASY!!!
My GF wanted to debadge her Civic EX so this is what we did. It is extremely easy, and DID NOT harm the paint in any way.
Personally, I like the A C U R A badges on the TL, but here's how to do it.
1. Open trunk and put a cloth or towel under the trunk area, then close it to prevent dripping.
2. Soak the badge well with "Goo Gone" on top and within the letters.
3. Let it soak for a few minutes.
4. Using fishing line, roll up the fishing line so that u have a good grip on the fishing line and start from either the left or the right side of the badge and go inward slowly moving the line up and down. it will make some noises, but it's normal.
5. After cutting thru the glue/adhesive the badge will pop off.
6. Squeeze more GooGone Spray Gell on the area where the adhesive still lays. Let it soak for a few minutes.
7. With your fingernail, gently scrape the rest of the adhesive off.
8.Wipe dry and you are done!
9. If you like, wash it, then clean it with a "cleaner wax" and follow up with a good coat of wax.
Good Luck.
