I think the red badges look nice on a green coupe. And debadging is really easy dude it'd take like 5 mins tops unless you have to do some minor work like i did
Did u get the front badge too or u just gonna go with the grille only?

well after engel was like "debadge" i was like might as well so i grabbed some fishing string took one cut at it and it just fell off along with the ex emblem like in 2.5 seconds i had the civic and ex badge off lol so i grabbed some goo gone and cleaned it up the best i could then off to the zac brown band concert woooo. since that i really havent done nothing other than party. but today i checked track shipping on my fogs and they should be here today so i guess gonna read the DiY on the debadging and and aftermarket grille and knock that out and kenny ive got 2 red emblems and i might try riggin the other one into the grille idk yet. depends on how it goes.

When i debadged my car i used a razor and got as close and i could w/o scratching the paint to get the "foam" stuff off. Of course i scratched the car but just touched it up and now you cant even tell.

I had to take sand paper to the clearcoat to get mine off. Not much just a little bit of sanding got it off. I had a clearcoat spray-can so i just shot that back over it lol u can tell where it was from a distance because of weather damage but for the most part it looks nice

And for your front emblem i dont know how well i'd like it in the grille...on the real ctr's they were on the hood but the more i think about it i guess i like the grille idea ??? I mean its not a real ctr anyway right? Haha
