I'd like to do that to mine....looks really good....GOOD JOB!! Off topic but why is your muffler so far out?? any plans on tucking that ****????

How easy is it to take off the front and back emblem off a hatch...I don't want to **** it up.....

BTW: anyone got a front emblem they'd send to me for a few bucks or free...I got a ricer white one in the front...EEKK!!!

Looks better black than chrome. I got mine shaved when my car was repainted.

I painted my gold ones black, then clearcoated over that. They look nice and shiny black now. My Civic is black of course so it looks nice.
Yours look nice, but you may want to clear coat them.

- It is very easy...you just pull them out...will leave "speed holes" but if you haven't yet opted for a paint job, just bondo the holes and then get it cleaned up when it gets painted...nothing to it...just pulls right off.

~~To the original poster, I think it looks good man, I agree it should be clear coated, but I like no emblem better. Also good idea on the rims, hit us up with some pics when you get them done.
