Badge Removal

[sydfd]

Hey guys and girls

I have been thinking about removing the rear badges on my 2006 Honda civic

I was wondering if I remove the badge will there be any holes behind the

badges.

Thank you guys for all of you help


Regards,


Sydfd

the civic and the vti wont have holes, u can use a heatgun or hairdryer to heat up the badge and it sould pill off. once the badge is off us turps to get the sticky shit off and the just wax the area and u'll be good.

in term of the 'H' it will have holes and u would have to get them filled in and painted which is a waste of money imo.

[markCivicVti]

Yep... what bangers said..

- Civic and vti/vti-l/sport badges come off without holes.. (advice: fishing line does the trick nicely once its in between part of the badge and the car)
- The rear 'H' badge will leave two holes..

I tried using a heairdryer... didn't help me at all.

[bodaas]

have you ever used dental floss before?

anyway, i always use wire to remove badges, the best way

[dannybubu]

anyone know how to remove the front and rear H badge? i got a couple of type R badges coming so will be changing them soon...

No offense mate, but if I see your car on the road I will point and laugh. :p

[markCivicVti]

I know what you mean... I saw a FD with the type r bodykit and red badges.. and immediately smiled and thought "FD1 lol..."

Though I'm sure it's impressive to everyone else out there.

If you like red badges then go for it! :thumbsup:

FN2R owners.. if you believe in a superior power, get down and pray those cooking models never make it to Australia!

wait... which side are you actually on?
the "yes please have" side or the "no no" side???

Yeh you open the boot and under the boot cover which some FD's have and some dont.
Look up and you will see two white clips poking out. Just push on them pretty hard and the badge will come out..

[moons]

wait... which side are you actually on?
the "yes please have" side or the "no no" side???

Your car is neither. :thumbdwn:

[trism]

people who put red badges on non type rs need to be shot

its like a GTR badge on a base level skyline, or an evo badge on a granny spec lancer

jsut shouldnt be done

[ej20i]

hey man, i rekon its ridiculous aswell putting type r badges on normal civics...but hey man each to his own and honda likes it...they getting the money from ppl buying the badges...if he likes it...

[dannybubu]

mate each to their own...if you don't like it don't put it - simple as that...just leave it.

[sydfd]

Hey people I also think that it is very ridiculous putting red badges on as well but hey this country is a democracy so people should be free to display whateva they want too on their cars, so unless you paid for their car chillax.

Back to the main reason why this tread really started

[moons]

..but hey this country is a democracy so people should be free to display whateva they want too on their cars..

Yup. And the rest of us have the same right to laugh at them and call them spastics.

:D

[sydfd]

Yup. And the rest of us have the same right to laugh at them and call them spastics.

:D

Thats very understandable moons you are spot on there but to call someone spastics because him or her have a different colour badge on a car is a very narrow minded thing to get up into but hey I'll give you a thumbs up for being so creative


BACK TO TOPIC PLEASE

[moons]

Narrow minded..

Look, when I see an old run down Civic with "comedy" red H's on it I have a laugh - and I think its genuinely funny because its clearly taking the piss.

When i see a nice new Civic trying VERY hard to pretend its a Type R with spoilers and Red Hs, etc., I think what a loser. People who own performance cars (of any marque) know what the Red H means and it is only a matter of time that someone is going to line this guy up at the traffic lights.

And for his trouble, he will embarrass every other performance Honda on the road.

I'm sure you would laugh your ass off if somone was walking down the street with a pair of regular Nikes with a Jordan Jumpan sewn on.

I know what i would think. :p

[cracker]

the fn2r isnt that fast wat r u talkin about? im pretty sure the dc5r is faster the fn2r and wer not saying FDs are fast so if you really wer lookn for a fast car why not just get a commonwhore nd put a southern cross sticker on the back, you'll be a sik kennnnt

People also have the right to respond completely incoherently and miss the whole point of the argument too, it would seem.

and if u want to get down to the detail. Fn2r is no type r. considering its made in the brits. wouldnt you only call an authentic type R from jdm? think about it..

Even so if that person did have a fake type R badge, im pretty sure that the person driving has enough knowledge and common sense to realise that he cannot beat whoever it was at the lights. (but he/she did decide to race, and actually lie saying its a genuine type R, then shame on them. they will get their fair share of laughs)

WTF x2

Honda - You know, the actual company, decides which cars are Type Rs, fanboys do not. If you want to be pedantic, the only real Type R is the NSX-R with the rest (even JDM) being the clever marketing offshoot.


(but he/she did decide to race, and actually lie saying its a genuine type R, then shame on them. they will get their fair share of laughs)

WTF x3. That makes no sense. Placing Type R insignia (including the Red H) is attempting to do just that. It may not be "lying" but it is certainly attempting to decieve the casual observer into believing that the car is a Type R.

FFS.

there really is no point trying to put some sense into you. all you got is "WTF"s and "starwars posters"

how bout we give you some time to piece ur words together first.

[Jo_e]

nick go punch the kient. or get jeff to give him a kiss. lol

A good car dont need badges. it speaks for itself.

[moons]

I'll say it one more time, just for the inept: It may not be "lying" but it is certainly attempting to deceive the casual observer into believing that the car is a Type R.

And the image was an allegory. Kind of like that Albert Einstein quote, except this is relevant.

[howy]

I know what i would think. :p

I have a Type R cf spoiler on my car, however I don't have any red badges. I know that it doesn't make my FD1 any faster, I got it purely for cosmetics (coz it looks good IMO).

I don't believe that's considered as 'trying VERY hard' at all.

And why the hell do you think people who have spoilers and/or badges race people at the lights? If that's what you do with your 'Type R' then I'd advise you to take your inconsiderate backside to the track instead. Please don't do that sort of thing on the streets...

[ej20i]

man, a badge is just a dam badge...IMO they are pretty cool...but i wudnt install it on my car...just because some of us dont really have the cash rite now to spend on the actual TYPE R and would like to drive a nice car and wishing that they have a type r...(like me) let em...and you guys wif the fn2r...feel gifted that you guys got a faster car than us fd boys...but please dont look down on us...
a car is just a car...it all depends on the driver...
my fd1 is at par with a wrx on the mountain...but a rolla was actually faster than us with the same driver...

[dannybubu]

this is a waste of a thread. shouldn't we be supportive of each other instead of hating?

[cracker]

yeah but that guys a douche...ur fn2r is an embarrassment to the name type r. its not even that fast, its kerb weight is 1345kg while the FD2 is 1260kg...so much for the light weight aspect of type r....your fn2r is not as fast as you say it is. FD drivers dont claim they are fast. you fail, i await your starwars pic.

[SaiHayashi]

wanabees wana feel like they have injected type R power, go ahead.
others wana laugh at it, go ahead too.
dc5r is faster and lighter than fn2r? so what?
they are targeting 2 totally different market.
us fn2r owners are always biased to think that fn2r is better, just as other model's owners would do.

why flame the post over a piece of plastic worth $5???
dont forget the poster only wanted to know how to take it off.

[ej20i]

we are not dissing fn2r...we have a great respect for fn2r but moon shouldn't look down on us fd owners...thats wad cracker mean im gessing

[trism]

i dont understand where the **** the fn2r vs fd2r argument came from?

[markCivicVti]

lol... Where's the respect ppl? Good luck with working out how to swap the front badge. Some1 already mentioned how 2 remove the other.

[chunky]

i dont understand where the **** the fn2r vs fd2r argument came from?

when that guy said you could get auto fn2rs because he got confused with fd2r then it all began

[bodaas]

this argumentation has been occuring so many times
whoever that condemn fn2r
my advices is
better if you own this car and then you start judging it

because you never drive this car everyday, you will not know, you will never find out

[moons]

we are not dissing fn2r...we have a great respect for fn2r but moon shouldn't look down on us fd owners...thats wad cracker mean im gessing

I don't look down on FD owners. I look down on FD owners who feel the need to place a red H on their cars.

[cracker]

why, because it makes u feel less special? if ppl want to they can, i havent...but now im considering to do so

[CB7_OWNER]

If u have trouble removing the sticky residue.. you can use carby cleaner =D

[SaiHayashi]

why, because it makes u feel less special? if ppl want to they can, i havent...but now im considering to do so
then make sure u get the type r emblem set to, just to make the collection complete.

[howy]

Considering I have a mugen part already in my car, and will be getting the bodykit soon.

I wonder if people would think the same if I put a mugen badge on.

[Shaun]

im not a Honda owner and dont know nearly as much about them as you lot, and i can tell u this, i have never mistaken a regular Honda for a Type R just coz it had a red H. in fact, i knew Type Rs come with the red H but untill now i never actually made the connection that Red H = type R only. so i dont see what the big deal is. if u like it do it. its not as if it Actucally says Type R on it.

[SaiHayashi]

Considering I have a mugen part already in my car, and will be getting the bodykit soon.

i certainly wouldnt. using mugen kit doesnt mean u use mugen performance kit

[dmx]

upz..looks like, i missed this thread. and now already out of topic

anyway, just share my opinion. For me, there's nothing wrong put red badge in "ordinary" civic.If someone say, only "genuine" type-r can carry this badge, so what is the term of modification ? I have Type-R grille, Type-R undercarriage cover, type-R start button, Type-R brake cooling slate, Type-R key panel, etc..etc..etc.. (and badges too). If ppl say, can't, so what parts should i use then ? GTR? Sti ? or Evo ? :confused:
if you have civic, just use type-r parts, if you have CL7 - use CL7R parts, and if you have NSX, use NSX-R parts. easy right ?
so for badge, It's just modification, just for nice looks, and unfortunetely...Red color badge is damn nice !:thumbsup:

and once again, pls DO NOT see civic type-r so high (FD2R or FN2R), they're just 180 and 144 Kw ONLY. will EASILY get smashed by Mazda3 MPS or Holden.For me Type-r is nothing in automotive world.only superior in Honda world :o


people who put red badges on non type rs need to be shot

its like a GTR badge on a base level skyline, or an evo badge on a granny spec lancer

jsut shouldnt be done
Don't get wrong mate, Red H badge just H logo with red color. same like ppl use Sti logo (subaru logo in pink color) on WRX. JUST the logo. nothing wrong.
but GTR /EVO badge is not logo, but "Word". I'm pretty sure, none of us put "TYPE-R" word badge on "ordinary" civic. if this happen, it will make me laugh too.:wave:

[moons]

its not as if it Actucally says Type R on it.

It may as well. HONDA only fits them to..wait for it.. TYPE Rs! (Formula 1 cars notwithstanding).

Is this really that hard to comprehend. Red H = Type R.

Have you ever wondered why they don't put pink or purple H's on their car: I'll tell you - It isn't associated with the Type R.

Red, as a colour simply isn't THAT popular!

End of story.

[Shaun]

Mate dont talk to me like im an idiot. i never said its hard to comprehend, i just said from an outsiders prospective i never really assosiated the Red H exclusively to type Rs, so to some people thinking a red emblem on a civic sport is making Type Rs look bad...most people other then Honda enthusiasts probably wont make that connection. so therefore i dont see the big deal.

[howy]

i certainly wouldnt. using mugen kit doesnt mean u use mugen performance kit

So having a Mugen Hi-Performance Air Filter wouldn't be considered as a performance part? :p

Considering a few more other Mugen parts too...

[dannybubu]

so what if i had the whole type r body kit, brembo brakes, k20 engine etc...it's called type r CONVERSION right? like many older civic model owner and integra owner did...so fair to put the red H badge on? i don't see what the big deal is...just coz it's red...so what if i rephrased the question to "how do you take the H badges off coz i just bought a couple of blue ones" would this whole argument have started?

[dmx]

Looks like everyone need to little bit cool down now, it's still spring, not summer yet...;)
FYI. Red H badge = Type-R ??? yes and no !!! depends.
ok, if you order parts from honda Japan, especially red H badge for civic FD, 1 st question they will ask : Konichiwa...lol...joking.. 1st question : For what civic FD ?:eek:
???why ???:confused::confused:
Because : Honda manufacture 2 kind of red H badge for civic FD 2006+:
1. smaller size for Civic FD2R (type-r)
2. bigger size for normal civic FD. (FD1/2/3/4)
only a few mm diff tho.:thumbsup:
the point is : Why Honda japan specially make Red H badge for normal civic FD ? is it Red H badge only for civic FD2R (type-r) ?
the answed : business ! Money ! That's why, for me, red H badge is NOT only for Type-R (FD2R), well, because when ordered, we said for normal civic FD 2006..lol
I will post a pics later

[ej20i]

lol...to dmx...is about business toooo
hahahhaha
jokes u cool...
umm will it damage the paint if we take goo of paint using carby cleaner as mention above?

[SaiHayashi]

So having a Mugen Hi-Performance Air Filter wouldn't be considered as a performance part? :p

Considering a few more other Mugen parts too...
hey i phrased it wrong...
btw im on the supportive side of u.
i was trying to say..... using mugen body kits are cool ! hahaa now i dont know how to say the stuffs properly.

but go for the mugen kits! and remember to stick a big badge/sticker on!
man im so looking forward to the mugen fn2 kit! esp mugen's bullhorn grill!

ur such a fukjob...pink and purple are fag colours. ur a fag. u get it...ive seen ppl with blue :honda:'s so stfu

[tonz]

i think moons is a little upset because maybe his type r got its ass wooped by a standard civic with Red H badges at a set of traffic lights or maybe its because he paid an extra $15K for a heavier car with red H badges and his car is not unique anymore....LOL

just get over it...let people do wat they want to their cars, there is no need to be hatin', people who have red H's on standard civics do not put them on because they think they actually own a type r or want to race one at a set of lights they do it cos they like the look of it.

[moons]

ur such a fukjob...pink and purple are fag colours. ur a fag. u get it...ive seen ppl with blue :honda:'s so stfu

When you run out of reasonable and logical arguments, you let me know, okay?

[tonz]

When you run out of reasonable and logical arguments, you let me know, okay?

i don't think your arguments have been very logical or reasonable moons, so who are you to be telling others to be...i thought you said before that people are entitled to their opinion so if cracker thinks that your a fag then thats his opinion.

I also recall you saying a few pages back that people with Red H's on non type r civics are spastics...wheres the reasonableness and logic in that statement???

Just seriously get over it...a fellow forumer asked a simple question of how to get a badge off and smartarses like you have nothing better to do than criticise instead of just answering the question or helping out.

If you don't have anything valuable to add just don't bother because a majority of people on this forum actually get along with eachother and like hearing what mods people are making to their cars no matter what they might be.

[moons]

i thought you said before that people are entitled to their opinion so if cracker thinks that your a fag then thats his opinion.

What are you people, 12?

Seriously.

[tonz]

lets see who started the whole stupid argument....hmmm maybe you did...so whos the 12 year old here.

Like i said a question was asked and an answer or some sort of help should have been given no one was asking for an opinion, yet you came up with one...

[I heart the SSS]

Wow, no wonder people think ozhonda is full of spam and crap.

Someone close this thread, it's basically some type R fanboy having a go at someone who wants to put a red badge on their car.

WELL DONE FOR HIJACKING THE THREAD CAPTAIN!

On another note;

Seriouse, if you don't want to help the bloke, piss off, it's as simple as that.

I don't think he wants your hear your opinion, nor do any of us.

So don't reply to this post, nor reply in this thread again.

It'll just make you look like more of asshole then you already are.

[tonz]

i agree with you...

[Q_ball]

Hey guys and girls

I have been thinking about removing the rear badges on my 2006 Honda civic

I was wondering if I remove the badge will there be any holes behind the

badges.

Thank you guys for all of you help


Regards,


Sydfd


the civic and the vti wont have holes, u can use a heatgun or hairdryer to heat up the badge and it sould pill off. once the badge is off us turps to get the sticky shit off and the just wax the area and u'll be good.

in term of the 'H' it will have holes and u would have to get them filled in and painted which is a waste of money imo.

I think thats very well summed up... + rep :)
Whether or not you get "type r" badges, is each up to the individual owner.

Case closed.
