on the trunk if i took off the big acura emblem would there be two lil holes there or is it the double side tape thing

 

2 holes .. I wish I had seen this post an hour ago I had mine off and could have taken a pix.

The "A" has 2 pins with sleeves over then and they go in the holes. The "A" is leld on by double sided foam tape.

 

btw I need to take my rear one off (cus its upside down -- don't ask). anyways, what is the best way to take it off and put it back on so it still sticks fine. I hear using a blow dryer to heat up the glue stuff and then just a credit card to take the emblem off will do the trick.. is this right???

any help would be appreciated.

 

No its not right .. a credit card is going to sratch the piant up pretty good .. Use fishing line or dental floss to saw it off .. then the remaining foam/glue residue warm it with a hair dryer and roll it off with your thumb.
If thereis glue left use Goo-Gone or WD-40.

Wipe the area down with IPA and use new double sided foam 3M tape to stick it back on .. then rewax around the area.

 

uhh cheapest 3M double sided foam tape i found was $57 a roll. Are u serious?

 

Any parts store will have it in 1/4" wide for $4 a roll.

 

so is there gonna b holes behind the Acura emblem i know theres none on the TL TYPE S emblem

 

there are only holes on the big "A" in the center, the "Acura" and "TL" use tape

why are you removing them all?

 

courtesy of ua6spec. two holes behind "A". btw, he is AZ Official vendor and selling the CF lip seen in the pic.

 

I use a strong dental floss or fishing string to slide it behind. The process is MUCH easier with a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat up the tape and it is also easier to pull the remaining peices of the tape off after the emblem is gone.

 

When I took the A off I had to break those tabs, so dont know if you will be able to use it again. But then again you may be gentler than me.

I recommend using fishing tape or kite string, cuz the dental floss just kept shredding and breaking on me

 

Ya I used dental floss and it came off easily with no paint chip/scratching whatsoever. Then I cleaned off the remaining gunk/goo from the body with water and then rubbing alcohol to get it super clean. Then used 3m double sided foam sticky tape to reattach it (right side up ) to the car. Worked like a charm.
