DIY : Rear Honda Badge Removal

[A'PEXi]

anyone interested in a diy in removing the rear honda badge, and replacing it with a carbon fibre item? ehehehehehehehhehe :D

[wynode]

Is it glued on?

If so hold a hair dryer over it to melt the glue and slowly wedge it off bit by bit.

Thats how to do it in a nutshell :)

[A'PEXi]

i think its glued on, but dont need a hair dryer..... a pair of plyers will do, this does not damage the badge in anyway, or break any clips. the badge is fully re-useable in 100% new condition.

[honda_fanatic]

use strong cotton of some sort, or even better fishing line. Comes of nice. Use thinners to get rid of excess glue, but dont rub 2 hard... pain myt come off....

You might also lose a few other things too so don't keep it there too long :)

lol do you want to buy a standard oem honda one then? perfect condition with clips, honda sell these for $50 brand new rofl :D...

the purpose of this diy, was taking it off and actually having the badge in hand... not having it stolen rofl :D

what r u talking about last time i asked it was bloody 75bucks for the odyssey

[A'PEXi]

umm dunno , maybe the odessy one is bigger??? i know type r ones cost more etc... this is just a 6x7cm or so one, standard civic rear H badge :D

[[[d a n n y]]]

nah not the new model odyssey honda bade they cost like 100 or a bit less

the older 1

same as the front honda badge on the civic

[Setanta]

25 bucks for the EF one (all chrome). Bu when mine got stolen, the ripped the crap out of the metal - and ripped up the paintwork too. Hence the white stick-on badge on the bonnet. The boot one was stolen by a more considerate thief :?

Or dandy shopping centre

Ive had badges stolen off my 4th gen lude 3 times - all the times they were ****ing gold badging so i was ****ing pissed off.....twice at the shopping centre and once at a mates place in dandy....

Got a 5th gen now and have been safe for the past 3 months.....TOUCH WOOD!! :D

Moral of stoey - DANDY IS BAD FOR HONDA BADGING!!!!

Ray given the subject title i thought you were going to post up how to do it!

[A'PEXi]

yeh, just wondering if anyone was interested before i spent time on resizing the pics i took and typing it up. will do it tommrow.

[b16a_integra]

did this today as im sprayin my bonnet, same theory applies. the best thing to use i asked a friend who is a panel beater, is a paint scraper or something as thin as that. but all the above will work also, just be patient and very carefull of the paint.

so how do u take it off with out breking the clips??
the fishing lines gonna loosen the glue but hten it doesnt pull out the clips without breaking them..

[incoming]

glue??...
on egs most H badges are being held on the the 2 pins, which is held by plastic clips

u can take it off with ur hands given ur got fingernails hahaha

ps. have u seen how big the dc5 H badge is on the back??? WTF!!!

Super sticky 3m double sided tape would do. They put bodykits on that way.
