    thanks for your help

    Well I istalled my 2 H's and the flag and I have to say it looks great. I have to say our help made the job easy. The front was a lot easyer then I thought I would be. The clips came off easy and the to pull out the front bumper was a lot easyer then I thought it would be. I just made sure to watch the latch and then I just pulled nice and easy and it came up and over with out a scatch. The rear was very easy with some dental floss and goo gone. Then the flag I just got a flat thin piece of carboard and lined it up with the civic and the marked were it looked like it was centered with using my finder for the measuring and them I marked the carboard and but on the emblem and then step backed and ajusted it a little to get it strait and it went on no problem. I love the install and looks great thanks again for your help.

    Re: Pulling the top over the hood latch

    I tried a few weeks ago to pull the top over the latch but was unsuccessful. I even scratch a little of the plastic in the process. From your picture, I think see some scratches too from from the hood latch metal rubbing against the plastic :o

    Anyway, how much do you have to pull? Isn't it more like pull it towards you then once you clear the hood latch, pull it up??

    Funny thing is you have badges to put on but I don't. I was just curious if I can open up that area. :D
    yes, i would like to know if this is the right way of doing it. SOMEONE HELP. do u pull towards you to get around the latch and then lift????

    This is what I did after getting it lose I took and put my hands so they were centered on each side of the latch to headlight space. Then I just pulled towards me nice and easy. Then I watched to make sure I cleared the latch and then pulled upward and I was done there. Just make sure you take it nice and easy and do not yank just pull it out nice and easy.

    Does anybody know where on the ShowStoppers website I can find/purchase the emblems?
    I can't seem to find them anywhere on the site.

    Awesome, thanks. That sure is pricey though... Does anyone know of a place that might be selling it for a cheaper price?

    Oh, and by the way, is Goo-Gone a spray or just some grease you have to manually apply? Are there more than one kind of Goo-Gone? I've found a site that's selling a 4 Oz. bottle of Goo-Gone for $2.99 and was wondering if it will be all I need for this emblem installation. (As far as substances go).

    $69 is about as cheap as you're gonna find them. Yes it's pricey, but they look WAY better than aftermarket knockoffs. Those are the REAL DEAL off the JDM type-R.
    Click HERE to see a nice close up pic I took of the JDM emblems, next to the stock ones.

    And as for the Goo Gone....it's comes in a bottle, and the product itself isn't thick at all. It's as runny as water. I actually didn't even end up needing any.
    Also there's a bunch of emblem installation threads on the board...pic one and away you go!!!

    Thanks a lot man... You've answered all the questions I had about the emblem installation. I'll be ordering them from ShowStoppers within the week. ;) Yeah, the JDM Red Type-R emblems sure look sweet. I'll let you know how my installation goes. Thanks again.
