i think shaving is a bad term for it. anywho you can use a hairdryer to heat them bad boys off and using some fishing line or brute force (your pick) to get them off. then use glue-gone or some variant (acetone for cheap-skates) to remove the tape.

What about removing dealer decals? I've got a vinyl decal, and all the letters are separate pieces, not all on one.

My dad would never let me shave the emblems. When you think about it, you spent $4,000 more to get the EX model, the best civic for the year, and you're taking it off? It's like taking the Nike sign off a T-shirt.
