I bought a white'90 LX 4 door and lets see...so far have removed the 1 ft. x 1 ft. Honda "H" from the rear window. I removed the silver "CIVIC" decals from the door handles, and removed the 2 foot long"H HONDA" decal from the hood <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


But the darn wiper arms are still blue, as well as about 14 different interior pieces...I'll get to those in due time. I want to stomp this damn ricer stereotype as much as one man can, an uphill battle no doubt.<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>

Yeah I should've snapped some before pics for a good laugh, oh well. Today I finally painted those wiper arms, they're black now. Got rid of the cheesy all plastic double blade wipers too. Also installed a remote starter w/locks in my baby today, WooHoo!

This is in conjunction of removing emblems...</P>


I recently purchased my Civic from Carmax and of course they had to put their emblem on the car. How hard is it to strip that off? Also will these 2002 Civic Type-R emblems (front &amp; rear) fit onto my 1998 Civic EX? What is required to remove the stock H emblems and replace them with these?</P>

you can get the car max label off by heating it up with your girlfriends hairdryer to heat up the adheasive and pulling it off then cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol to get the rest of the adheasive off. as far as using the badges i dont see why they would not work they are just held on by little plastic clips in the grille and trunk lid. jsut give it a try and let us know.

just what can said but make sure whatever u use to clean the crap off left behind from the badge doesnt mess up ur paint

Hey, why you hijacking my post, when did I say anything about removing emblems? Start your own damn post! j/k dude <IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0"> </P>


Oh man, I found more rice on my new ride I didn't know about. What was this "stealth rice" you ask?The bulbs in the clear section of my corner lenses and the bulbs in the directionals down in the bumper are freakin' BLUE! The dealership put an inspection sticker on this car when it hadblue bulbs in the blinkers and corner lenses, WTF! I could have been pulled over at any time and gotten a fix-it ticket or a real damn actual ticket for that garbage. "I'm sorry officer, I just bought the car and didn't know they were there." What cops gonna beleive that line!</P><edited><editID>USDMED3</editID><editDate>38101.929525463</editDate></edited>

I was rounding a corner once, and the on coming car was a hot chick, staring me down...next thing I know, BAM! Not me, she ran into another car lol...I turned around, asked if she was alright. Not a great reaction, I think the spark was gone once she smashed!<IMG src=smileys/smiley12.gif border="0">

Green98, blackpearl mentioned she was pretty hot. Btw, why were both of you staring at each other when going around a bend. Kind of dangerous not keeping your eyes on the road... <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

She was hot, but when I went back to check on her, she wasn't too happy about the situation, probably really embarrassed. I couldn't ask for the #, would've been wrong...so wrong...http://www.hondacivicforum.com/smileys/smiley2.gif border=</P>


She seemed to be alright though, more emotionally hurt than physically.</P>
