Are you talking about the ones on the front bumper and rear trunk? Cause' under them are some alignment holes where the "H" plugs in for proper alignment and fitment....

WHATS IT SAY, I CAN'T OPEN IT

 

Basically, use dental floss or similar to cut through the adhesive. Removing the retaining clips on the front badge. Pull off the badges. Use bug/tar remover or similar to clean off the remaining adhesive.

 

the rear was not too bad- lots of strong adhesive... but it eventually comes off.
the front was a horrible experience- i finally just broke off those clips by pulling hard enough!
but with the S badges on the car now, it was well worth the battle to remove the black chromes (which by the way are much more difficult to remove than the stock badges- i have removed several for others).

 

thanks...i heard it was a pain

 

It is not that Bad, the MY02-03 are harder becasue of the way they changed the clips on the front. But if you have the Black Chrome badges they mount the same way as the MY02-03 do.

Also in order to read the link I posted, you have to have Abobe Acrobat Reader. Get it @ www.adobe.com. It is the Honda "How to" install guide. With Pics and all. It does not get any more detailed than that.

 

Be sure to use 3M citrus adhesive remover. It is safe for your paint. Spray it around the emblems lightly and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then go at it with the dental floss. Be sure to use waxed.
