Front "H" Badge Removal?

NickJL · 03-14-2009, 11:36 PM

I have a 2008 LX coupe and i need to know how to take off the front "H" badge without breaking it so that i can paint it. I already took off the rear badge and painted it so i just need to know how to do the front one. Thanks

I've never tried it, but I'd say that if it doesn't have a clip in the back, then its just glued and you'd need to use a heat gun or hair dryer. It's also been recommended that you take some tape and cover the tip of a flat head screwdriver to use as a pry tool while heating. Don't scratch it up though. It's possible that it uses both glue and clip. Sorry I couldn't help more.

not sure on about fg1 grilles but on fg2 grilles the emblem is held on by two screws. you could try unscrewing it w/o the bumper off but it makes things a lot easier when the whole front bumper is taken off.

There are two screws that hold it on from the back,or just brake it off.

u need to take off the front bumper, or the grill part if possible. it is held on by 2 screws.

I plan on painting mine once the weather gets a little warmer.
