Default Changing the A to H emblem in rear

I have done several searches but nothing came up. I have a few questions for those of you that have changed the A emblem to the H emblem in the rear. Which H emblem do I want to purchase and where could i get it for a good price? Is the process hard? Anyone have directions on how to do it? Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Use, '92-'95 Civic Sedan rear trunk "H" emblem. Or, just get JDM typeR "H" emblem with red fillings.

How exactly would I use dental floss to take the A off? And what is adhesive remover? Last of all, you guys know where I could get the OEM H? Thanks.

Call up Mike. he has them


Take the floss and shimmy it behind the emblem. teh floss wont scratch the paint and then after you separate the double sided tape from the car and emblem... use thet remover to clean up your trun and then re apply the new badge!!!!

You may also want to replace the "Acura" with a "Honda" (from a 88-91 civic) so you don't look like a jackayse

I was just planning to shave the whole Acura and fill the holes if there are any behind the Acura.

The front is a bit tricky. On mine the emblem did NOT want to come off the pegs where stuck in funny and its plastic so I didn’t want to jack it. As far as the emblem, you have to use the same emblem as the back because the JDM front emblem is rounded too much for the surface of the USDM bumper where the emblem sits. You also will need to chop the pegs off because the pegs on the emblem are closer together on the front emblems.

Get yourself some Australian Emblems and they will fit perfectly. For all intents and purposes our R is externally identical to the US Type R (few differences with wheels etc )

How much do they cost in US dollars?

I thought of this as well when I did mine (AUS, UK) but they were just to hard to get a hold of.

P.S.
They also have the "HONDA" badge that will fit in the "ACURA" holes perfectly.
