Shave IT! It looks so much cleaner. I had some stickers on mine and took them off and it looks so much better. I want to shave mine but dont have the resources to do it right now.
You car looks good and would look better without. We all know its a honda.

That looks really nice and clean without the emblem, 94lude. I need to do some painting and body work on mine and I think I am going to take off all the emblems front and back. It will make it easier to wax, too.

So just take a screwdriver and pry it off? What do you mean by shaving exactly?

alvin · 08-21-2002, 11:29 AM

shaving = filling in the holes to make it flush

I had my stuff shaved when I put my body kit on...

MR.CLIFFORD · 08-21-2002, 11:29 AM

So pry it off and then fill in the hole it left?

Yes, but if you don't know what you are doing don't try it. You remove the badge carefully, then the holes are filled in with body filler (bondo) and sanded flat, then the panel is repainted.

The best way to do it is to weld the holes because the bondo will eventually crack over time.

Don't just remove the badge because you will be left with the two holes underneath which are a lot more unatractive than the badge iteself. Wait until you have the money to fill and repaint the panel if you are going to do this.
