Want OEM emblems
In order to thoroughly polish the car, I'm going to need to debadge the whole car and I'd like to reapply the badges when I'm done. Where is a good place to get the badges I need? Can I reapply the H emblems?

Both the front and rear H badges come off using the dental floss or fishing line method. There are two lugs about 3/16 in diameter on each one that go into clips in the holes in the bumper or deck lid. Absolutely no need to take the bumper off......You just pry the emblems out with a screwdriver wrapped in a towel or a plastic pry bar after the tape is cut by the dental floss or fishing line. There is a chance they may break though-- if they do, it's probably worth it to fully clean and polish the area underneath them every few years...New OEM ones are $13 each including new clips.----

The "S" and "2000" side emblems come off with the floss or line---no lugs to deal with.
The emblems can also be reused (if they didnt break removing them) by reappying new 3M molding tape from an auto parts store but it's a pain to do----you apply the tape to the emblem and then trim it with a razor blade-- probably takes 20-30 mins for each one.
I replaced my front and rear emblems with the JDM OEM ones that look esentially the same but have a solid background in either body color or black ( i went black on my silverstone). They look great and they always look claen as there's no place for wax and dirt to accumulate.

It's easy. You dont need to to take the bumper off. Tape off the area around the badge. Take a heat gun or blow dryer to soften the glue on the badge. Take some dental floss and with a side to side sawing motion run it through and under the badge on all four sides (top, down, left, rght). It should pry off after that. The front badge depending on what model year or badge may have a pushpin to release. You can reach it through the hood just wrap your arm around and under the front bumper.
