sides are stick on and will not leave holes. back and front will leave holes, no bolts and stick on.

I suggest using a blow dryer to heat them up first before taking em off. use floss or fishing string to get it off easy. a flathead will work just be careful. if you have any adhesive left, just use goo gone or lighter fluid to take off but be careful with lighter fluid. take your time and don't scratch! good luck.

there is a little white washer holding the two holes, shouldn't be hard to get off though. The glue is the main thing holding it down.

Agree with the goo gone. I changed out my emblems last week to the red JDM emblems and all I kept reading on the forum was how much trouble people were having with the adhesive. When I did it and used Goo Gone, it took no time and came off rather clean. Check the following instructions to see how Honda instructs dealers to remove and install emblems.

Rear emblem can be popped off.
Front emblem has white fasteners that need to be removed in order for the emblem to pop off.

Be very careful. The edges of the emblems have small pieces of double stick tape holding the edges down.

When you go to pull off the emblem, if the edges touch your bumper or trunk lid, they will scratch the paint.
