I just bought a set of the JDM red honda emblems for the front and back....I wanted to know if anyone around here has swapped them yet and how hard is it? do i have to take anything off for the front? I know I can get to the rears do I just push on it with my fingers to pop them out?

 

the front H comes off via 2 screws BEHIND the grill,

i'd pull the bumper and unscrew it properly

rear one i would use dental floss to "saw it" clean the area properly with soap and water and wipe it down with rubbing alcohol and drying it before applying the new badges

 

damnit i didnt want to pull off the bumper....the rear one though has 2 push pin things going through the trunk...detnal floss will break that off? i was going to try not break it so i could tun around and sell it

The factory ones are only a couple bucks. Break the back one off and the front, if you have a small philips screwdriver you can get away with just removing the screw in the fender and the top screws of the grill. Pull it back far enough to get your hand inside. No need for the whole bumper to come off. I wouldn't break the front one just for fear of screwing up the paint

i know and i love that "factory" fit...unline my teg....my fg fits together in one piece dont wanna break the magical honda "seal" cause it will never fit together as well again

 

Ummmm you can try to just pull the bumper back to unscrew the H but im pretty sure its not going to happen. You cant gain access that way. It is screwed to the grill which is screwed to the bumper. The grill is held on by about 8 screws. If you can do it without removing the bumper I would be amazed. Also if you take your time the bumper will go back on just as perfect as factory.

he doesnt need to remove the WHOLE grill just the H, if he peels it back
he can acess the 2 screws holding on the H with small enough hands OR a nifty little Screwdriver...
here is a pic of where the holes are ...if u wanna be nuts and dremel

she baby doll she

and yes i have itty bitty hands....sigh ill try to do what i can....i ve got a set of small screwdrivers if i can find them...the front one is on backorder for a few weeks so i have time to figure it out maybe ill go ahead and try to take them off first and drive around naked for a few days

 

wait.....cant you just take the grill off without removing the bumper? that would be pretty easy...i dont want to hurt anything and i tend to break things in half....i was told i shouldnt be touhing anything on my own

 

hey hun well its an easy one to remove the grill. which u'll need from their u can get rid of the H . open hood remove black cover then unscrew the bumper screws (2) then just stick ur hand in there with small screw driver and again get rid of all 8 screws then theirs a few clips go easy on 'em and u should be able to take out the grill .

the top part is somewhat fleixable i just did this in 10ish mins because i remove the stock Ex grill that was black for the painted si grill ( it was cheaper to repalce the whole thing with new paint rathern then repainting it .....

its soo easy u dont need to remove bumper lol... pm me here or myspace if u need help

haha thanks....ill prob try it later on this week...looks like its gonna rain...i spent about an hour on two in the dark last night working on the damn teg cause my husb blew the damn taillight fuses with cut wires and was too lazy to fix it i fell so bad for that car

 

I wanna see the emblems your changin too!

/Mats

 

post on results :D btw where u bought these emblems?

 

jdmland.com....im still waiting for them to come in

 

i got the rear one today and im putting it on now...trying to find my roommates dental floss

 

so dental floss only way to debadge? i'd worked on the front end its easier , since the car is new the adhisive is easy to work with , im sure if u kinda pull on it easy it will loosen up w/o scratcing it

 

i got it off with my fingernails...however im a bit disappointed...whoever it was who told me to get the rear badge told me the wrong one....or else forgot to mention it was a bit smaller and the holes dont line up so i ripped the plugs from the new one to plug the holes and just have to hope the tape keeps the emblems on

 

post up results , theirs other ways of doing it w.o tape i guess just have to research ,

 

hold on let me go take a pic be right back

i posted a link in my post above...image is too large to post it up here...if you click on the thumbnail it will pop up as a meduim sixe pic but if you click on it again it it will zoom in super large i like the way it looks but i dont like the fact that it didnt fit the holes...like i said though it was pretty easy to get off with my fingernails and then i just scraped off the sticky crap and waxed it with that resist all stuff i got for that warranty package. now i gotta wait a few weeks for the front one to come in..hope its just as easy &gt;&lt;; both cost me about $96 after shipping from jdmland.com

 

i find it very easy on the front one , as long as you get the grill out you unscrew the H and yep its easy .

 

yeah well i opened my hood yesterday to take a look and the plastic cover piece is held on by the same poppy things i had problems with on my ej.........i pulled and pulled and pulled on those to put my si grill on it before i sold it for like 30 minutes and couldnt get them to come off...then my husband came behind me and got it off in like 30 seconds.....damn men
