I have an 08 accord and I am actually thinking about purchasing the new civic just cause my commute is far for work. Is it possible if you can list step by step how to remove the civic letter on the rear? appreciate it greatly

It peels right off.

I used a plastic scraper and gently pushed each letter off. Virtually no adhesive tape left on the car. Just rubbed off adhesive with my thumb.

The whole process took about 2 minutes. Adhesive tape and all.

Super easy.

If you're going to debadge, the earlier and newer the car the better. The adhesive is easiest to take off the newer it is. After it's been on the car for years the adhesive is more likely to come off in pieces and leave more residue.

Will be doing my car in the next few days. Can't tell from pictures, is the Civic emblem one piece or individual letters?

I guess debadged related, but anyone with a front license plate and their state doesn't require it, I typically buy bumper plugs from www.bumperplugs.com. It makes the front bumper look much nicer not having the dealer plate or holes in your bumper. However, the price is a little steep-- ~$38 with shipping.

Started on the debadging on the Civic Emblem. Compared to my Accord which I did 2 years ago, this one is taking much longer even with using Goo Gone. The glue is really on there. I got all accept one C and the V done which I'll have to do later since I ran out of time with my going to work soon.

Did install the bumper plugs which makes the front bumper look much cleaner.

Where did you get your bumper plugs? I hate the front plate holder, distracts from the fascia. Did you get them in the color to match your car?

So I saw this thread and decided to make an account. She's about a month old now (not sure how much of the adhesive should have stuck on) but I thought I'd try the flossing trick. I removed it and I saw this:

That is A LOT more adhesive than I thought it'd be.

I promptly putted the C back on and know for sure need to clean it now.

Do you guys think I should use googone or should I proceed to just keep scraping it with my nail? Not sure if alcohol wipes would work. And I wouldn't want to leave a scar that couldnt be removed later on. Just wondering if anyone else had this experience.

Edit: after about 8 minutes of thumb scraping....

Definitely use goo gone! It took me awhile to do all the letters and nail scraping as well. It's totally worth it in the end!!

Also, use a quick detailer or something similar to take the goo gone residue off of your paint.
