debadging help

[blackcruzer87]

im contemplating debadging my civic.

any suggestions or proven methods that work the best are welcomed.

already read a few of the other threads about this topic but it shows theres many many methods out there and im not sure which ones have been used and are proven most effective

Well, I've done it to both of my cars and its come out awesome. The classic dental floss, scrap credit card and a hair dryer works super well. Heat the badge up and use the floss/credit card to gently pry off the badge. Then, using rubbing alcohol, or Goo-Gone if your a name brand guy, dab and rub the remaining tape and it comes off no prob.

I also used dental floss to get rid of my civic and ex badge. Then I sprayed some WD-40 on the adhesive bandage part and started scraping with a credit card.

sounds like a plan. thanks for the advice guys. its either dabadging or giving it another attempt at putting the aftermarket grille on tonight after work.

That's what I thought. Looks like I'll be keeping my Honda emblems on until I get the car into the body shop

there are two pins even on the back emblem? i thought the H and the civic were jsut stuck on and the front H was the one with pins in it.

Yep, the back has pins too. All Hondas do.

 

[blackcruzer87]

so if i left the back H and took off the civic? are there pins behind that too?

 

[blackcruzer87]

so there are two pins behind both the H and the civic on the trunk of a 99 civic lx?

 

[00exCivic]

Checked the H on my 99 ex it has two pins

 

[blackcruzer87]

so if i debadge the trunk right now i will have little holes in the trunk. any diy suggestions on filling the holes without bondo or covering them with tape?

 

[CHYEAHMAYNE]

just debadge everything but the H. painless and looks better.

 

[blackcruzer87]

so the civic isnt held on with pins then?

 

[cgpEJ6]

ONLY THE "H" HAS HOLES.

It's really not that complicated. Look at the inside of the trunk lid and it should be blatantly obvious.

ONLY THE "H" HAS HOLES.

Yep.

I debaged my Civic and EX off. Hair dryer, dental floss, and Goo Gone worked for me. I did it several years ago though so since the car's paint was so old and faded at that point, you can still see where it once had the badges at certain angles in the light. But it's still very hard to see otherwise.

Just leave the "H." Get a JDM badge set and replace it. Problem solved
