well, you can debadge the "civic" and the "dx" emblems, but the "H" has two prongs which leave two holes in the trunk if removed. so i say just debadge either the civic or dx if you want, i debadged the civic and dx on mine simply because i didn't like the way it looked, plus it looks a lot sleeker in the rear now.

ya the H cannt be shaved off without body work.... but the civic and 2lettes can....
BUT what i plan on doing to KINDA shave my H is buy a new H and scuffing up the chrome with some 600grit sandpaper and then paint it black to match my car and stick it on my car.... that way it blends right into the trunk the best it can without any body work

i say just leave the H, take the Civic and DX off (thats whta i did with my DX as well), i think it looks great. Symmetrical with just the H in the middle, and plus like ej6 said, you'll need to fill two holes behind it. Just use a piece of fishing line and run it between the trunk and the badge slowly, they'll come off. Buff it up when you're done cuz they'll prolly be a little residue left over

^ if you paint it the exact color of the car, it doesn't look bad, but usually if it's not chrome, it looks kinda cheap.
