Default Removal of front Acura emblem.

I took off the back with minimal cussing and bleeding. Now onto the front. I know there are clips on the backside of the emblem, so I removed my bumper and started to pry at these clips. They won't budge. For those that have removed this one, do you have any insightful advice to share? TIA.

if he leaves it at The Block in Orange, one of the thousands of stunna wanabEEz will only take da badge

at another mall, instead of taking my front badge, some girls thought it'd be funny to stick one of those small picture stickers on the front emblem....jailbait

Austin, you mean like the whole clip thing in the back, like the whole peg? Or just the thing around the peg?

About the mall thing... i'd rather not

Removed the nose and cut the clips with plyers.

The front emblem was a PITA, mostly due to the amazing sticky ability of the Honda adhesive. The clips came off rather easily After the nose was removed.

And it was worth removing the nose since I have the emblems in tact sans the clips, but, it is a clean job.

Ask Tom...

Good luck,

A.

Thanks 1GT.

For those of you aren't dumbasses such as myself, and have PATIENCE unlike me, yes you should use plyers or DO AS AUSTIN ADVISED AND CUT OFF THE CIRCULAR CLIPS HOLDING THE EMBLEM PLUGS.

my fingers are sore

Yes, fishing line,,, I used dental floss, the minty type... And a good tool to use after getting under the emblems was a store discount card like a thin supermarket card.
