have paitience..good judgement..never use metal on metal for this..plastic on metal

watch out for chrome plating..might wrinkle if bent too much/far, and watch out for damaging the sheetmetal on the car.

- the pin holes are on the sides of the honda badge.. dont pry it off by the bottom or top. that will damage the hood/trunk/tailgate. pry it slowly side to side using a plastic prying tool little at a time on each side. dont rush it. if i can ill get pics ups later.

Use dental floss to break the glue and then it should just pop out.

ive ready people use dental floss... never tried it....

but what i do (and it works perfect, never scratched my paint once) is i use an OLFA blade and slide it under the logo... once all the adhesive is cut it will pop out easily

of course if you have jittery hands the dental floss is prolly a better idea

put your dental floss under the logo (a strand on each side) and just pull STRAIGHT up it will pop off
