on the 92-95 civics they are stickers, so some adhesive remover and razor blade will take care of that in the rear. Sorry didnt know you had an EK, im not sure then.

to remove the stickers just get a hair dryer and heat them up a bit. after about 10 seconds they should be easy enough to peel off. the stickers will most likely leave some residue behind so buy some adhesive remover like goo gone or something to wipe it off. it should look like the sticker was never there, but sometimes depending on how old the car is, if you look at spot where the sticker was you can barely see the outline. this is due to the paint underneath being basically brand new and the paint around it being duller because of age.

Yup, I removed them off my old EK they are just stickied on but you will need to scrub hard and use goo gone.

Yeah on the EK they are stickers. Either heavy fishing line or a guitar string works well. And towards removing the glue, you can get 3939 from any store that sells auto. paint. It works really well as a degreasor and will not damage paint or clearcoat. Good Luck.

hey to get the badges off take a putty knife wrap it in ducttape and use a heat gun as u heat it u can peall it right off and the ducttape will stop it from scratching the paint.
