Thumbs up Cost to DeBadge S2000?

I have a Berlina Black s2k and i noticed that some have removed the badges.

I was contemplating removing the Honda badges on front and rear, and leaving the s2000 badges.

-What costs am i looking at?

-What work must be performed? After the badges are removed what work must be performed?


PS: I am not thinking of doing it myself just curious as to how labor intensive it is.

Also, opinions welcome as to whether or not to De-Badge.

the holes left off by the old emblems would have to be filled in and the bumper and trunk has to be repainted...

Damn, that sounds expensive?

Would the entire Trunk and Bumper have to be painted or just the area surrounding it??

doing it yourself doesn't seem like a problem. just fill in the holes with bondo, sand, and paint.
However, painting the bumper seems like a pain in the ass. You should paint the whole bumper, cuz it would just look weird if you didnt

Get an aftermarket front bumper and a carbon trunk lid, don't put the badges on them

the holes will have to be filled up front and back, and paint the whole trunk and bar, also if the paint isnt sprayed perfect or mix is done with cheap paint u may see the difference in the colour with the bonnet and side gaurds. so they would have to blend it all. but thats at your worst. if you take it somewhere good they will know what there doing. should cost too much, i would take the washer things of at the same time from your front bar

Leave the holes. They're speed holes.

Get some Ricks "S" badges instead. Don't have to worry about filling any holes then and looks different.
