ya where can u get those letters my car is a 98 and i took off the letters last weekend well it looks like someone used clear coat on top of the leters !!so u can still see like a border of dirt around where the letter used to be and don't tell me to use this and that i already tried everything the only things left to do is repaint the whole rear bumper or put letters back on

hhmmm......... that's interesting how ur paint came off considering that ur car is much new than my 99......

I also have the same San Milano color and I didn't have any extra help like the blow dryer.........

I just went ahead and peeled them off slowly and rubbed the sticky crap away and waxed the area down very throughly and it came out wonderful..........

The only thing is that there is still a VERY faint stencil markings of the PRELUDE words on the bumper, but can't been seen unless under sunlight so it's all goooooooooood........

Good luck with urs man......

latez...........

that's why you gotta take it off soon after you buy the car....almost when it's still brand new...the longer you wait....the more trouble it'll give you...or so they say...

my car is a 99.... think i can still take it off?

I got honda to remove them from my back bumper.
The car was only 1 week old and they did a horrble job, looked like they just took a butter knife to it.(scrathes and paint chips)
Needless to say i flipped on the service manager and got the whole bumper repainted.
