I broke mine off I tried to pry it from underneath with a flathead. DO NOT DO THIS! Anyways I think you can try to remove it from underneath. Flip up the armrest and there are a few screws. Try that.

 

lol...thanks for the warning I've tried this before... but mine didnt break...my screw driver broke

Ghetto!

 

Remove it?

Yeah, I permenantly removed it B2's way. Before my PY went sold, I ripped off the badge/plate with just my fingers. I did Little if Any damage.

I wanted a reminder before I sold her.

A.

 

It's really hard to remove, because it's connected with one-way plastic retainers. You can get a blank one from your Acura dealer, I have the part number if you need it.

1. Remove the lid/armrest from the rest of the center console
2. unscrew the four screws ( unless there are less I can't remember) and separate the cloth part from the plastic piece
3. Remove the one way retainers by squeezing it together it will fold in half, the retainers I mean.
walla that is how I have done it. It's been a while so there may be more steps in between but that is the basics

 

The number badges seem to have an extremely common problem of falling off during a collision. In fact, most interiors you see for sale from "wrecked" Type-R's are missing the badge all together.

 

Want your emblem off? Leave your car parked outside for 4 minutes.
(caution: this technique may result in the removal of the entire car.)

 

They're probably all removed, but I think that's what you were getting at.
