i need help replacing all my emblems on my rsx, i heard you need to take off the whole front bumper to change the front emblem..is that true, or is there an easier way? also when your changing the emblems that say acura and rsx and what not, what do you use to stick the new ones on? help please

 

you can use double stick tape or something like that. i don't know about the rsx but with the ep3 i didn't have to take off my bumper, but i heard the rsx you have to take it off as well

 

for the front emblem yes i had to take off my front bumper..i've heard some say you don't have to..but personally while i did mine i couldn't find any other way unless i was going to be ok with bending and perhaps snapping my grill..but i did it while i was installing some headlight bulbs so i kind of did 2 jobs in 1 to make it more worth my troubles..

as far as the badges..they should already come with new adhesive..my 'integra' badge came with its own adhesive on it, covered with a clear film..all i did was remove the previous 'acura' badge..clean it with alcohol and warm water and a paper towel..make sure it was dry..eyed it to make sure it was straight..(should've marked it though with like a piece of tape or something to make sure it was as perfectly straight as possible)...and then stuck it on..pushed on it real hard to make sure all parts of the adhesive were touching..

 

daym, it looks clean. guess im gonna just have to take the front bumper off. well thanks for all of the advice guys

 

takin the bumper off? nah u can do it without it.. the grille will bend and all u gotta do is make sure u can fit ur hand to screw on the back took me about 10 mins to figure it out

 

the grill comes off, there are two clips located on the inside of the grill (on the bottom)

 

Yeah i never took my front bumper off and it was easy.

 

I took my front bumper off and did it that way, was easy and took just a few min.

 

the front bumper is held on by 5 clips in the front ontop of the grill and the sides just pop out lol how hard could it be to take it off lol i think its alot easier then reaching your hand down behind the bumper or taking the grill off lol

IMO i think the red itr h badges look better.

 

well thanks for all of thee advice guys, i ended up just taking the front bumper off. i couldnt figure out how to do it without, i was scared i might crack the grill. i would post some pics up... but i dont really know how. thanks for your help

 

I like how the silver rsx has it's grill color matched. I will do the same whenever I get tired of seeing my fubar bugged front bumper.

 

thats pretty cool, i didnt realize that

im pretty sure he just got it repainted. i like the way the silver looks on the grill where the H sits but i think it looks weird when they paint everything else
