I've always used dental floss to cut through the sticky backing and then my fingers and some kind of adhesive remover like goo gone to get all the sticky off.

I used dental floss alsong with a hair dryer set at the lowest heat setting. By using the hair dryer more if the adhesive is removed so it takes less work and adhesive remover. Just remeber to take your time.

This worked well on my previous car. I don't plan on doing it to the S but it should be just the same.

I took the lettering off the back of the TSX last weekend.

As mentioned, heat the whole deal with a hair dryer. I used dental floss to pull the emblems off. I had to fold a piece over to make it strong enough.

Getting the double-stick tape off sucks. Use adhesive remover and keep working at it. It's no fun at all.

i also found that the unwaxed dental floss worked better than the waxed stuff. I kept having the waxed stuff break on me, and when i switched to unwaxed it came right off without breaking. That seemed o be the case on my 2 pervious cars.

Indeed, I also hear mint works better than cinnamon.
