The H can just go back into the holes..

The Civic emblem will need some #m double sides tape that you can get at pep boys if you want a small roll

dragoon is an unknown quantity at this point
it looks pretty good, just cutting the little bits of tape to get it back on will probably suck

I took them emblems off, got some spray paint from pep boys (i got glossy black paint) and I sprayed the emblems 1 by one.

Make sure when you spray you keep the can about 8 inches from the emblems... thats very importent.

After done spraying an emblem let it dry for about an hour just to be safe. After the hour goes by get some clear coat and spray the emblems with it. The clear coat part is very importent because if you dont use clear coat the paint will chip off.

The "H" will just go back into those 2 little holes.... you'll see what I mean when you take the H out and the CIVIC emblem will need to be remounted on with double sided tape.

WHo ever said cutting the double sided tape in bit was a pain in the @ss is right.... that was a tedious process but I think it was worth it.

Actually I just walked outside and shaved all my emblems off except for the Honda Badge. The Honda badge has two "nipples" ,if you will, that poke into the trunk lid and it only has a little adhesive on the top holding it on. No big deal. Best thing about the Honda emblem, if you want to pull it off to paint it, then just get a thick piece of dental floss, work it from the top, slide it down until you can't push it down any further, and then pull it towards you. It won't bend and it pops right off.
