Here's a quick Do it yourself removal of the "civic" badge. Things that you need are Dental floss, Cotton Balls and Alcohol. Using a long thread of dental floss, insert it between the emblem and trunk. Using a hair blow dryer, heat up the adhesive thats hold the emblem. Finally, Use a cotton balls and add a little bit of the alcohol to remove the resudue left over.

yep ive done this but one thing. How about like a sticker left on your cars paint. The residue left from the back it seems more sticker than emblems. And I assume same thing for decals on the windows?

You make it seem harder then it is lol. I just did floss,hairdyer and pulled the son of a bitch off.

when I do any mod to the car, i try to be carefull as posible. Why in a hurry for? I'll rather do it and take my time than just removing that emblem and leaving some scratches and ruining the emblem. =)

06CivEXJon

I didn't scratch anything it was a clean removal. i used goo gone.

I agree. Plus if you keep the emblem nice, you could put it back on later for re-sale value

Right after I pulled mine off I went to get gas and the guy pumping behind me said Hey, I like those new Accords...what did it cost ya

JeShUa

LOL accord.

I might do this, great write up. I love it when people wonder what kind of car I have.

"MAN that's a TIGHT car!"

"it's just a civic haha"

Sion0x

are you kidding?

that was the whole point of the cottonballs and rubbing alcohol.

06blaksi

Goo Gone works wonders too!

Just did this and it looks great. I did it slowly and it didn't even leave any marks to rub off. I was stoked since I suspect rubbing alcohol can damage the finish.

gbae007

I did this too. Just remember to polish and then wax the area afterwards!

DJKlitz

perfect. exactly what i was looking for. i hear to use goo gone though

i love this mod but now when i wash my car its leaves like a slightly brighter color of the civic emblem underneath it. kinda like a bad sun tan. anybody else have this problem or have a solution to it?

PBJames23

I had that problem when i washed my ex coupe. its cuz the water beads off the part where the adhesive used to be. However, it stopped doing it after a few washes.

btw, I removed my badge with only a hair dryer, and there was no left over residue. just pried it off with my fingers. i dont think floss is needed.
