I was looking around for a DIY to put the emblems I got from Showstoppersusa.com but I couldnt find one with pictures! It's pretty self explanitory but some people (like me) need pictures. So I took out my camera and took some. Hope it helps.

1. Open the hood and look at the pins. Theres 8 in total but you only really need to remove 4. But I will remove all 8.

2. Take a flat head to the honda clips and pop them out.

Should look like this

3. Pop the bumper out a little and look behind the grill for two small screws

4. To make it easier, I pulled the bumper on top of the hood latch

5. Grab a stubby phillips and take to the screws.

6. The emblem should just fall off after that. Line up the emblem make sure its the correct one. Clean the surface of the grill so you get as much stick as possible!

8. Put the clips back on and admire your new Honda badge!

looks like one of your hood bump stop thingy need some adjusting just rotate that bitch clockwise so it can go down so your hood would sit flushed

Haha its because when i bought it the guy was sideswiped. The whole passenger side sags a little. I need to fix it one day.

Do you have pics for the rear emblem?

The rear emblem was quite simple. You can do it one of two ways.

Easy way - Grab some floss and floss off the emblem. Clean it up. Peel and stick.

Easier way - Grab a flat head, pry it off. Clean it up. Peel and stick.
