you're gonna need to remove the plastic clips too. it's a PITA, but you need use thread or dental floss to loosen the adhesive, then you need to open the trunk, reach your fingers behind the badge & push against the plastic clips to pop them out.

On the rears, the adhesive was the only thing holding the badge on - the posts are there for alignment only.

I wasn't aware that later models were different.

I could have sworn when I replaced the badge on the trunk it sort of 'snapped' in, but maybe I'm wrong, it was several years ago.

are the posts for the badges the same on all years? I know the MY02 got bigger badges. My 2001 got totalled but I recovered the red badges. will they go on my MY03?

I do not know for a fact, but I suspect all the same. It would be way less money for Honda to just make new badges than to change metal and plastic body molds just to move a couple of holes farther apart.
