Looks great. I know dental floss works to cut the glue, but how did you undo the clips that are inserted into the bumper?

They aren't really clips more like holes to hold it in place, just did the dental floss trick and they popped right off in seconds. I thought it was gonna be a lot harder to take off and i put a blow dryer to it for 2 seconds and i got bored and just went right to it and it worked very quick and well.

I went and bought new emblems for 20 bucks each at my local Honda stealership and they come with the sticky backing. also painted flat black. they do have some sort of tabs that pop in the holes to hold it more securely. I think when I popped out the old one's the tabs just broke off.

if you want the paint to hold up you should sand the chrome before you apply primer to allow the primer to have something to adhere to.
