Looks like you've had the car for four posts.

Welcome to 8th Civic.

jonny22 · 01-07-2010, 03:38 AM

yeahhh, removing the badges make it look SOOO much cleanerrrr. great diy never thought dental floss and hair dryer would do such a good job haha!

***Nebkhat*** · 01-19-2010, 10:26 AM

^ Clean! Nice pic.

tim9294 · 01-20-2010, 08:44 PM

I believe the car looks much better without the civic logo. Some people around the city ask me what car is that.

Also, I suggest getting Red tint from grax. to make the bad end look CLEAN.

EX.

Plinko · 02-07-2010, 04:03 PM

I just did this and there was a lot of residue left over. Alchohol and goo gone haven't really done much. I just put on some more goo gone and I am going to wait a while before seeing if that works. =/ hopefully this stuff comes off.

Hawn Si · 02-07-2010, 09:00 PM

Cleaned up my '09 FA5...

...had the tails all redout, but decided to go legit on the reverse's. Oh and that's an '08 piece above the plate.

Galaxy Grey Si Coupe · 02-19-2010, 04:22 PM

I want to do this diy but my car is an 06 with 60K miles and in the Florida heat, im sure it'll have some sun burn. I took off my pin stripe and even after goo gone, alcohol, even wet sanding, its still there so I guess I have to leave this on.

todd` · 02-20-2010, 01:45 AM

You may as well try. I took mine off my 06 a few months ago and it was fine, but I'm much farther north. If it comes down to it, you can always put it back on with some 3M.

BlkSi2008 · 02-23-2010, 09:39 PM

This was just what i was looking for!!

mongoose221 · 02-28-2010, 11:59 AM

honestly, it's like 30 degrees out... my car is basically brand new (1025 miles on it) got it about a month ago. anyway...
backed up to the house, we have an outlet outside, i took a hair dryer on high heat setting, and just waved it over it for about 1 minute, just so it was not freezing cold, just neutral to the touch
grabbed a roll of dental floss, and gently worked through the tape... don't "pull" out w/the dental floss, just "saw" up and down parallel to the sheetmetal, took me about 2 minutes tops... worked from the start of civic to the middle, then from the end backwards to the middle... came off... took about 30 seconds to peel the 3m off w/my thumbnail gently, wiped down w/some water (readily available, thanks snow! haha) and a towel, then some cotton balls w/some rubbing alcohol, then some more water to wash off the alcohol, no residue, no "ghosting" of the badge, looks great w/it off. car is TW btw.
