I own a 2002 3.2tl. I would like to remove all of the markings off of the back trunk to give it a nice clean look. Does anybody know if the emblems are bolted on or glued on? How would I go about removing them?

 

All the info you need is in this link.

U can't remove the (A). It has two aligning studs on it ans their are two holes in the trunk. Everything else is glued on

 

Thanks guys!

 

i have a black chrome A on my trunk it was replaced. the ACURA is still the stock silver

 

lol...pic?

 

Just a thought but if your 02 is white like mine or a brighter color there will be an outline of what ever you take off because the paint underneath all that hasn't really experienced weather and such.

 

my ssm tl badges came off easy and after a nice buff and wax no difference in the paint. no my smr cl (san marino red) left some faint markings of being badged.

 

warm water and floss.. then buffed with a towel and the remaining glue came right off, didnt have to wash and wax

 

I would like to do this, I know nothing about waxing yet and don't have the time to learn it, specially in cold winter. So hopefully mine won't leave marks either.

 

how do you remove this. the hood badge. Also how do you remove the A on the trunk. I got all the JDM badges and need to know, im waiting to put them on till my H grille comes in.

 

I am confused what that second picture is of?

 

The second pic is the nuts that is holding the "A" in on the engine bay cover.

The trunk has studs so you are going to have to shave it and then take the trunk lid liner off and get at the studs that are holding the emblem in place.

They should be either 8 or 10mm.

 

The inside of the valve cover.

you can remove A C U R A and 3.2TL (S) using the diy, but removing the (A) will leave two holes that need to be shaved and painted over.

 

^^^^i think ill just rip off the A and use double sided tape and stick the H on.... fuck it

 

i can sell u my (H). it doesnt have pins. i just used 3m tape to hold it on. im putting my tl to stock. looks ugly with emblems

 

K so thats what that was

 

Yeah I am afraid to take that off cuz it might leave marks but i would love to take off the A C U R A and the 3.2

 

not to sound gay but i did take my 3.2 tl type S. i broke off the "3.2" and then put the "TL" on it with the 08 Type S symbol. not gunna lie it looks pretty dope. though i too wanna take off the ACURA but if i wanna sell the car i dont know if that be a problem yea know. w/e

 

^as long as you don't do any damage to the paint, you can always save the emblems and glue/stick them back on later if it comes down to sellin it..

 

^thats what i did saturday

 

quick question.

Does the wheather matter when debadging? I put the Honda grille on today and took off the 3.2 TL. I ready to take off the ACURA and put on the INSPIRE but i was wondering first do i need to be in warm conditions for the double-sided tape to get the best bond it can get?? 10 day forecast for my town is 40-50 degrees.

 

warm is always better.

 

so what temp u think i should wait for 70s??

 

screw it couldnt wait. Stuck it on in 50 degree weather. I thinks it supposed to get to freezing degrees tonight. Ill see how it turns out.

 

on the A on the trunk there are 2 prongs that hold it on on the bottum what can i used to hold the top part of it. mine is loose

 

so it is coming loose and the prongs aren't holding it in?

 

On the trunk or the engine cover?

 

on the trunk. the A has three attaching points. the 2 bottum ones are nice and snug but the one at the point of the A on the top is not even attached. what do i use to reattach. it also rattles with my subs
