well first off all but our "H" emblems are held on by adheisive..some-1 correct me if im wrong and instead of using dnetal floss..use fishing wire..dont forget wax, adheisive remover *can do w/o*, and time..you wouldnt wanna scratch up paint..see just like me:D

deffinetly requires a lot of time. It took like an hour for me to shave this stupid thing. :( Oh well, no scratched paint makes me happy :)

I scratched my paint :'( I couldn't get the stupid sticky stuff off, and I ended up scratching the paint in the process.

get the letters off with fishing line and then boil water, put a towel in the boiling water, put the HOT ASS towel over the adhesive and about fifteen seconds later wipe it off, no problem.:D

WD40 will work like a charm and will not damage your paint. It even says on the bottle that it removes adhesive material. Spray some of that on and let it sit for a couple minutes, dental floss or fish wire and maybe even a hair dryer will help. If u still have adhesive stuck on the car, repeat the same process with your fingers. SIMPLE! :)

exactly...spend the whole $3 to avoid damaging your paint.

spray adhesive remove behind emblem, let soak in for a couple mins, then use dental floss to saw thru the adhesive. pull off emblem then clean up remaining adhesive w/ remover. wash/wax area when done.

takes 2-3 mins. if done correctly.

an hour??? lol

i just took off the emblem with my hands and then used an adhesive remover (MEK) to take off all the adhesive, it didn't scratch the paint, but it left it a little faded but after i waxed the area it looks fine

lol yeah, it's called too much time with not wanting to fuck up, and a shitty hair-drier that never gets hot, haha
