Has anybody taken off the front and rear HONDA badges?

If so drop in some tips on how to do it without ruining the paint behind it.

Do a search for incredibly detailed instructions -- everyone who buys Rick's badges removes the OEM symbols. The secret is....dental floss.

Not exactly sure what you are thinking, but if your talking about taking the badges off all together you're going to have to deal with a total of four holes in your car. (There are two holes under each badge incase you weren't aware).

I used a tape coverd screw driver, no damage but not recomended

I had the license plate holes and front badge holes filled and painted after some a$$ hole hit my car. The rear was covered by a Rick's Badge. The front popped easier than the rear since it was removed by someones bumper

For best results, get teh flat-style kevlar based floss. It'll say WL Gore somewhere on the box.

Yes. They are (as I remember) about 4mm wide; two in the front, two out back.

why do you want to take off your badges, unless your replacing them with the rick style badges?

I want to take them off because the car or any car looks so much better without them.

But actually I kinda like the side badges, the name s2000 just sounds very high tech

I agree. The car would like better without them. Personally I would take off the front badge and use ricks badge on the back... Sounds like nEVERCLEAR has good taste.
