you do realize there are 2 holes under the ACURA right? You'll have to take it to a body shop to get them filled.

I just pulled the emblem off of mine and then used some Goo Gone to get the adhesive residue off of there (it takes awhile). Then I used a HONDA emblem from a 90-91 Accord to cover up the holes. :thumbup:

I like the Honda emblems on the back...looks good.

As for the holes left from the Acura badge I just left them for now. On a DVP GSR you need to be up close to notice them.

I got my OEM ones for free (yes it was honest, friends gave them to me off their cars). :bigok:

You can use a hairdryer to sorta melt the adhesive behind the letters, then slide dental floss behind them to pull them off, then goo gone or lighter fluid to remove any excess sticky crap, then Meguires Cleaner/Polish to get rid of any yuckyness

Double up some dental floss and run it under the emblem(S)..Goo Gone to get rid of the residue...Very simple, very fast...It took me 5 minutes to take mine off and replace em with different emblems.
