Default easy questions

Heres two questions that probably wont be hard for any of you to answer..
1) I want to debadge my 97 civic coupe...what is the best way to do this, and are there two holes behind the "H" or is it just that adhesive crap?
2) What is the best kind of paint to use on the interior?
3) Does anyone know how to build sub boxes to put on the sides of the trunk and how to make a false floor? I want to put one sub on each side inbetween the back and the tire so that i have the whole center of the trunk and the subs only take up the sides...then i want to put my 2 ampsand cap underneath a false floor.

Yes there are two holes behind the H emblem. All the rest of the emblems are held on only by glue. It's best to remove them on a hot day, and least from my experience. A little dental floss and some goo gone and you'll be all set!

1) Follow Raul's advice. A hot day is best, but use a heat gun (or hairdryer) to heat the badges (be patient...don't heat 'em too much cause it could mess up the paint). Then use some fishing line or floss to remove them. A little goo gone and some more heat will take off the adhesive. And make sure to wax the area afterwards or it'll fade faster than the rest.

2) Krylon Fusion is good for the interior PLASTIC, but use a vinyl dye for the vinyl.

3) Look in the DIY section for the false floor.
