Could someone please tell me how to remove my rear H from my trunk without breaking it? I would like to remove it, paint it flat black, and then re-install it.

I already did a search.

Thanks!

No....see that's my point. I want to take it off and paint the emblem black and then put the emblem back on without breaking it. I don't want the emblem completely gone. I need to know how to remove it without breaking it.

its sad that someone has to post on the title of the thread that they've already searched because they worry bout getting flamed by some of the ****s on this site..... welcome to the site and good luck. i believe you can pop the emblem out from inside the trunk but im not 100% sure.

 

Thank you Scan. I just don't want to mess it up. Given I could pop it and break it and just paint up a new one from Honda, but I'd rather not waste the $$ just to have a black emblem.

there is a spray u can get to take adhesive off, if it has adhesive on it, then spray it, and use string, or floss, to slide it through. then bondo will fill the holes, i believe, like that thread i linked. i dont know how it will break it.

 

I'm concerned about breaking the two little pins that supposedly hold it into the trunk. I know how to mess with all the adhesive stuff. I just don't want to bust the pins.

Thanks!

ya you just pop them out from inside the trunk. there are little fasteners in the trunk holging the backside. i'm not sure of any glue though. havnt taken it off mine. just push firmly from the inside

 

Thank you Pato! I'm going to give this a shot after the holidays.

dont worry about breaking it .. its barely held on with soem glue ... just pop it off and You'll be fine! (My friends are those ****ers who jack emblems) then when you wanna put it back on a dab of adhesive

 

Thanks cryp. And I'm glad I don't live in TX by your friends, other wise they would be deserving a severe beatdown.

I may be a tiny girl but I have some power! haha

Stoopid Noob, search!
Hah just playing, I was going to paint mine black too but replaced it with a silver on carbon fiber emblem, looks tight I think, but it was real easy to get the original one off and hard to break it unless your careless.

 

nice.....thanks.

I'm still going to go for the black paint. Because I'm also doing the front H in black. I'm not a fan of any sort of badging.

The best was when we had our 00 Teg Type R and had all the badging off of it and kids would be like, "is that a real Type R??" or "is that a real Mugen wing?" Oh yeah kids, I wasted ALL my money on doing a 5 lug conversion, buying itr wheels, stamping the Mugen in the side of the spoiler, etc.

Anyway, as I'm rambling on.... thanks! I'll be sure to kick myself if I break this thing then, since I've had enough responses to not worry.
