well if you want to take them off take em off. Don't worry about what other people say(Im not talking about anyone here just in general). Personally I like it w/o the emblems i think it looks more clean. Instead of going to Honda to buy some new emblems, try and see if someone will trade ya the stock ones versus the red ones. you both can get what ya want and save $$$

I agree that the car will look 100% cleaner with the emblems off. But it's going to cost you an arm to either learn how to shave or have someone do it for you. Damn those two holes to hell.

yep if you wanted to do it right, you would have to get the
front bumper reconditioned. tell them to plastic weld the 2
holes in the front where the emblem went, and then get it painted

thats probably the thing i should be doing, but the insufficient funds are killing me at this point.. paying rent and **** is rocking my world.. looks like i'll have to find some stock emblems... i called the local honda dealership today and they wanted 22.50 APIECE for them..

Couldn't you just fill them in with some thing like a tiny bit of bondo or something, and then put touchup paint over it?

I know that looks fine on black cars, at least.
