keep the glue nice and warm by using a hairdryer...then use dental floss to try seperating the emblems from the fender....when thats all set the fun part begins because now you have to get the glue off. try goo gone, bur and tar remover, or rubbing alcohol beasically see what works best for you but be patient because its gonna take a little while to get it all off

I used a heat gun that quickly softened up the glue to the point where the the fishing line I used cut through like butter. Then yes, rubbing the glue off the fenter is a pain but not hard. I used goo gone and kept the fender warm with the heat gun. If you use a heat gun, you don't need to "over" heat the glue. Just enough to make is soft.

I agree with all above, but before you start block off the emblem that you are taking off with masking tape. That way you will get your new
one back in the same sopt.

yes put a piece on top and botttom of the emblem. mark with a pencil were s2000 starts and stops. the cr emblem is probablly longer, so the sides may not be necessary.
