ive never done this before but how do you replace the stock acura emblems? do you just pull them off that simple or do u have to screw them out. Just making sure cuz i dont want to chip the paint.

Well someone stole one of mine (the back one) which made me really mad, but anyways they musta crowbared it because there was a little mark above it but i took that off with wd-40 its perfect now.

Well I had my trunk badge stolen. Some punks pulled it off and left no pry marks (fortunately). Anyway it left these two white plastic caps that are barbed like a hook stuck in the trunk. I had to he-man them out with pliers from the underside of the trunk. Then I bought the stock badge (because the blue one I found didn't come close to matching).
Long story short, the stock badge comes with those caps attached to it and you undo the adhesive backing and push the badge on. Just line up the two caps with the holes, press firmly and you're in business.
If you're talking hood badge. That sucks because the fasteners are hard to take off. They're like washers but grip the pins of the badge. Hard to get off without destroying the badge. If you don't care about the badge just watch the hood.
Hope this helps. BTW the trunk badge cost me about $35 and its a total BIATCH to take that damn adhesive thats left off. Good luck.

peace out:)

I think new badges look good but not worth it. I cant explain how pissed I was when I got to my car and saw both my badges ripped off.
