to debadge or not to debadge???

[-h2n-]

hey guys and gals...

sorry to bring up an old topic again but what are the general opinions on this mod?? (specifically the "accord" and "euro" badges)

rice or nice??

also, what about replacing the badges if ever necessary?? has anyone done that before...?? what's the deal there?? and you reckon dealers do replacement badges at all??

cheers!

ive heard from experience if u angle ur badge a bit, u gain like 15 kws atws.

But back to teh topic, RICE = NICE !!

LMAO

[PERTH_EURO]

yeah do it

accord and euro badge are easy to remove. Honda "H" hasd holes behind it.

Yes your dealer would have replacement badges in their parts book, or u could just by mine :)

debadge it bloke, it would look cool. Use a heat gun and gently heat up the badge. Use dental floss to cut the badge off then use thinners to get rid of the glue left behind. easy.

Damn thats pretty technical on removing Badges Matt...

Its personal preference... but then when u realise how much those badges Honda are charging in their parts department,

1) Make sure u remember to keep them in a safe place....
2) Remember where u kept it in the first place

[Type R Positive]

I spose you could just get the screwdriver out! I did it to a m3 once, it came off real easy......... (now it looks cool, and debadged:))

[Speeder]

hope that was your m3!!

[Type R Positive]

no not mine

[yfin]

I don't regret debadging my Euro. I think the car looks much better without the Accord Euro badge.

[VirIIx]

any easier ways to debadge, rather than using a heat gun? :b

[Type R Positive]

just use the floss and cut it off. the heat gun just helps unstick the glue.

Lookin sweet Yoram!

[qmjona]

yep, looks good.

If it was only glued on, you won't need to vist a dealer if you ever want to put it back, just glue it on again. How about one of those EuroR badges?

(at an angle for an extra 15 KW - perhaps not !)

[VirIIx]

ahh well, i'll do it on monday coz i'll have nothing to do on my public holiday ;)

[Type R Positive]

it is like aryldite (2 part epoxy resin) crap. Euro r badges would be cool, but I would want the recaro interior and engine that comes with it!

[VirIIx]

hahahaha..

i'd personally prefer to have a more torque over top end kW.

bit ricaro's would be nice.. mmmm

[PERTH_EURO]

just floss it off and then remove sticky residue with fingers, eucalyptus and polish.

No joke it took me 5 mins to do mine.

All to easy

[baboo]

debadge all the way man...unless u got a type R badge...I'll leave that on thank you very much.

[Calvo]

if u dont have a heat gun, use a hair dryer :D. thats wat i always use.

[coladuna]

Personally, I don't see the point in debadging.
It just creates a lot of hassle and also risk damaging the car while debadging.
It doesn't look any better in my eyes.
I think the people who debadge the front Honda badge actually makes their car look ridiculous with a large empty front grille.

[-h2n-]

heh.. just done mine last night.. pullin of the badges took all of 2 minutes.... but that sticky shit was quite a biatch!! half an hour to remove!!!

now gotta wash and polish ...:D

[Jus-10]

ooo is that Albert Park yfin?

Car looks so much nicer debadged IMO...nice and clean!

[yfin]

yep - Albert Park.

h2n - it also took me ages to get that sticky stuff off! I didn't want to use any chemicals or thinners - I just kept rubbing it for ages....

[Type R Positive]

yep - Albert Park.

enjoyed it I hope!:D

[spoon fit]

y debadge...they don't look nice

[Slugoid]

I've had my Accord debadged for a while. Certainly looks good and sorta "different" (as there are sooo many Accord Euro's out there).

[euro77]

If I end up debadging it, I'll stick my euroR badge :D
Got it for a while, haven't sticked it yet cause it looks too ricey. But maybe it adds 5 more kw? hahahaha :D

[FORGED]

i guess its all personal preference, but i really like the debagged look, i guess it just simplifies everything, the simplier the better... cleaner lines!! mmmmm....

bit of shaving never goes astray either...
