i was looking to take off the civic emblem on the back of my si for something diffrent i guess ive seen someone do it on here before but i was wondering if just a razor blade will take it off and if its just glue that its held on by or will there be holes? thanks

Not if you value your already inexpensive paint job.

Take it off with a platic bondo blade, and remove the excess with Adhesive and tar remover.

 

post pics please.. i'll do it too..

 

Listen to this guy a really nice guy for advice i took off my s2000 side emblem and u can't tell but if u look real close youll see how i scratched the **** out of it just to take it off
my best advice is get it done profesionally

 

Duno why people are doing this. I like the Civic emblem, its a cool script unlike some of the past civics... *reflects to the script civic emblem on the mid 90s i think*

 

I guarantee there are at least 1 or 2 people who's whole job is creating the fonts for new Hondas..I say leave it on.

If not, use sring or fishing line to gently remove it. then some Goo-Gone, then wax.

 

I would remove mine, but from past do-it-yourself misadventures I think I will leave it. Unless you know a buddy who can do it professionally (that I don't). I would'nt go out and pay some stranger X amount of cash to get it done

Safest way (other than leaving it) is use WD-40. Let it soak into the glue for 15 minutes and then use your fingers to start prying it off. If it doesn't come off easily, soak more WD-40 onto it (wipe excess oil of course).

Once it's off. Wash the area well and then use a cleaner and finally wax it.

I did.

 

My friend used a heating gun to melt the adhesive and then
used regular floss to cut the adhesive from the back of the
emblem. Then it was easy to get the emblem off and then
wiping whatever is left on the trunk. Then wax where the
emblems were for a good clean look. No scratches or anything
on my trunk, except for the reminding Red H that I put.

 

If it's new enough it will just come off....if not use a hair dryer to warm it up...don't concentrate in one area...take some dental floss and work behind it cutting through the adhesive. Goo Gone will remove any residue. The only holes are behind the H...2 of em.... I took mine off the first week and it just came off by pulling it

 

Where can i find those red emblem's for the civic ?

 

I picked mine up at the flea market for 10 bucks....ebay usually has em too

 

yeah i really like the red H's too...leaving the si badges on though...think they look good with the whole black/red theme....are the red h's a direct fit? the integra we bought a while back had the red a's...but looked like they leaked or something and their turning black on the inside

 

When I put the red H on mine, I just tore the back
of the red h's studs and just let the adhesive do its
thang to stick on my trunk. lol

 

I will give it a shot...the heat gun method.

 

What ever you do be careful! Dont scratch that puppy! IMO, I think the emblem looks cool, but hell

beat me to it. the same thing i was going to say.

 

For the Civic emblem I just used a pressure washing wand on HOT. Came off like butterrrrr

 

id liked to keep the the emblems, but replace the h with the red, i think honda shoulda done that from the beginning with the red SI badge

 

not touching my emblem!

 

use Dental Floss to remove emblems...works the best, then wash off excess glue which is not much if done right...

 

Sure, use a razor blade. While you're at it, do it the H on the trunk too. Then take it to the front bumper Si badge as well. You might hate yourself at the end of the job.

Seriously, use a hair dryer and heat it up, use some dental floss. Take some goo gone to the left over adhesive.

 

If you want to keep the badge in tact.... dental floss
if you dont care... pull it with fingers.. and wax the area when your done

I couldn't agree more. Theres a couple things they should have done. The shift boot with red stitching, the red valve cover, Red H Emblems all around, the HFP S/S muffler w/ bigger exhaust, bigger headers, lil more comression "11.5"and finally remove the Si badges and replace with Type R Badges and just make the damn thing a Type R. Anyone with me. ???? Dont get me wrong I am not complaining with what we get in the Si. I love it. But I dont think it would be that much harder to go ahead and make it a Type R. I could be wrong

 

I know this threads from a while back but I'm new to this forum and was curious if you knew what adhesive I should use becasue I want to put the CIVIC emblem somewhere else
