Default Emblem Removal Question

first off - whats the best was to remove them - is it you head the emblem with a hair dryer and then use floss to separate the glue from the car? then use goo-gone or some cleaner to get the excess glue off?

also - i realize that there will be two small holes left from the emblem - my question is, does honda or anyone for that matter know of any small plugs that will fit in the holes? i dont want to spend the money to get it "shaved"

Thanks, Brad

What I did what I sprayed WD 40 and let it sit for like 5 min. Also Gas works well to eat away @ the plastic goo holding the emblum on. Just warning you if you leave WD-40 or gas on there too long and your paint will go bye bye, so if you do it, 5-10 min max then spray it off after your done. If not a heat gun (Or a hair drier) works well to. When you take it off, there will be 2 holes. You need to get them covered, its a good place for rust to start. For the time being you can just use plugs. I had my car painted and had the holes shaved.

i used heat gun/dryer, been careful when i was flossin...emblem will easily come off, then use some goof off or something to get the remaining glue on the surface...

you will need to shave it to cover the holes.
