Default removing emblems

Basically how do I remove the s2000 and H badging correctly? I noticed that when I had my front bumper off there were 2 pins that were holding the H on. When I remove these, including the s2000, are there holes left over? If so how are you filling in? Thanks

bondo and touch up paint. it will probley look tacky though. you need the entire bumper sprayed. the S2000 is glued on. if your firmiliar with using a heat gun on cars you can take them off that way, if not i wouldnt try it or youll end up burning the paint.

My advice for removing them is to use dental floss. It won't scratch the car and will make removal as easy as it gets.

Dental Floss works. Though, I used fishing line. Also, if you heat it up with a hairdryer, it comes off even easier.

With that said, I'd never remove my emblems. Just makes it look like you had an accident, not to mention the $$ and time it takes to cover up the 4 holes.

your best bet.

take a blow dryer, turn it on high heat, blow the emblem for like a minute, and remove. By blowing on the emblem, it melts the silcone so it can be easily taken off. If you want to put it back on, blow the silcone again, so it'll melt, then put the emblem back in place.

Easy.

are there holes under the s2000 emblems or is it just glue/emblem tape?

s2000 emblem is just on with double sided tape... heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun... then use dental floss and take it off that way...... the H emblems have 2 holes each.. which need to be filled in and repainted...
