all of the chrome emblems on G3 tegs have both holes/pins and adhesive. The DOHC VTEC or Special Edition emblem is the only one that is glue only.

spray some wd-40 using the little red straw thing that comes with it. let it sit for a few minutes and that emblem should fall right off.

Patrick, your H seems a little off-center.

Nope, I made doubly sure I had it centered over the 2 holes in the hatch before sticking it on there. There was also a very very faint outline from where the A used to be (tried to buff it out but no luck), and I made sure it was centered over that, too. :thumbup:

Bug and tar removed is basically the same stuff, I've used both to get stubborn spots off my car, no harm done.

I don't know why noone ever suggests it, but the best way to get off those emblems (also works great for bugs & tar) is to use some adhesive tape remover. Some of the strongest stuff comes in the little pads or if you can't find that, use some Elmer's Glue Out. They use a concentrated citric acid to dissolve the adhesive like bug & tar removers, only much, much stronger. It's safe for clearcoats, though I'd recommend you wash it off after you're done.

yup, Goo Gone is also citrus based, it smells nice. :thumbup:
