Did you guys have to pull the front bumper off to install the front emblem? Seems like a bitch. Pulled the 8 plastic plugs out and still couldnt get to those screws.

No need to remove your front bumper. Its a complete pain in the a$$ but all you need to do is force your hand behind the grill with a small phillips screwdriver and the screws will come right out. Good luck!;)

Unclip all 8 clips, pull your grill and bend it up and over your hood latch/lever then reach behind with a stubby phillips screwdriver, unscrew 2 screws pull off the big emblem w/riser and put on your new JDM emblem.

Heat it with a hair dryer and slowly pull it off. 3M tape is the only thing holding that one on.

just use a dental floss and slide it around the rear emblem, then use goo gone to clean the sticky adhesive :D

There are 4 philips head screws underneath the black grill attaching it to the front bumper. I removed the clips on top and the four screws underneath (reached through lower grill in front of the radiator). The whole black piece comes right out and you can remove the emblem and/or the si easily. This is probably harder than the method mentioned above, but I wasn't having much luck with that method.

damn..i still cant get the front emblem off. Do you have to have midget hands to get to those 2 screws or what?hehe Im actually starting to get pissed now. Seems like I dont have the space to squeeze my hand inbetween the grill and the top of the bumper to get to the screws.

haha, what i did was i removed the latch first coz i dont have a small screw driver that will fit into the gap when you pry the grille out. that will give you plenty of space to remove the screws....oh you got it? oh well, too late haha :D
