Taking Off and Putting Back on Badges
Hey guys,
After getting my car back from the body shop last year, I noticed that they didn't properly line up the s2000 badge on the side fenders. Both sides are a bit crooked. Anyhow, I wanted to fix this now that I'll have a couple of days off for the holidays. How do I do it?
What methods/products do you suggest to get the misaligned badges off? What methods/products do you suggest to reapply them? Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all and happy holidays!

use the instructions for removal on ricks site...

the hardest part is that to do this right you have to mask where the right place is first- you cant do that, so you can either use the exact measurements (in the shop manual- helms manual) or find a buddy and measure his (might be easier)
btw, you will need some 3m tape i imagine...
when i did mine, i just replaced them with black chrome side badges- and they come with the tape already on

Can anyone suggest an adhesive so I can reuse my badges? I don't want to use something that is too strong/harsh for our paint, but I also want the badge to stay put.
