Do you want to remove the rear "acura and TL" emblems?
If so, then just heat them up with a hair fan and pull them off with tooth floss or fishing line.

The "A" emblem on the back has 2 holes behind it, I would suggest to cover them up with electric tape, while you're getting it painted.

Another suggestion - after I removed the emblems on my car, I could still see the TL and the Type S faintly on the trunk, that helped a lot when putting the emblems back on.

Pm me if you need help. it's easy to do but you will need to clay then compound and finish with wax afterwards.

^Those are the instructions for installing the gold Acura emblems, but they include instructions on removing the existing ones, both front & back.

It only says you have to use string around the A? I guess you just pop it off? I dont get it people say there are holes so I dont know what the deal is

There are 2 posts that come off the emblem and are held in place by 2 clips with foam gaskets to prevent leakage. Use floss to unseat the adhesive and pop the emblem off. If the clips do not come out of the trunk, use needle nose pliers to gently remove them from the holes. If you cannot replace the emblem immediately or are removing it permanently, cover the holes with electrical tape to prevent any rust from starting until you can fill the holes in (or replace the emblem).
