Does anyone know if that giant Honda "H" is drilled or just stuck on? I think the truck would look a lot cleaner without it. :-(

Wanting on an answer to this as well. That giant H location is prime real estate.

For what exactly?

For what exactly?

Maybe advertising space for a general contracting company or something? I plan to put some there for my business when I buy one.

Well, on my G1 I had a University of Michigan magnet there. I plan to keep it clean for now, but would like the option in the future.

Haha! Yeah, a nice chrome Nebraska "N" would be good there. I love that someone had the same idea with a Michigan "M". GO BIG RED! But after that I'm okay with Go Blue!

There are no holes shown in the tailgate nor any fasteners shown on the parts diagram for the tailgate, so I'd say it's attached using adhesive tape like most badging these days.

I speak with some expert knowledge on the subject. There just stuck on with 3M tape. When my truck was rear-ended two years ago. The body shop purchased the rear emblems. I told them to leave them off. They're sitting on my desk at this point.

To remove them, use Dental floss. Saw through the adhesive backing. Remove the remaining residue with Goo-Gone. That's all there is to it.

I just use monofilament fishing line and tar remover to remove the emblems, then hit the area with a bit of polish to blend in the slight discoloration. A bit of wax and it looks like nothing was there!

 

[Hopper]

Thanks all! I've done a lot of de-badging with fishing line, a blow dryer and some goo-gone. I've also found in the past that manufacturer's logos were attached differently, hence my question. If it's just tape, that is indeed good news. Mine will be de-badged the first weekend I own it.

make sure you put up pictures of the process and final result!

 

[Hopper]

Will do, but I have to find an available RTL-E or BE in my area first!

The "H" emblem on the tailgate is centered with two alignment holes stamped on the panel, so there would be two open holes if the "H" is removed. The Rideline and AWD emblems are just affixed with adhesive.....I have inside knowledge with family that work in the facility....hope this helps!!

Acetone should also work if you don't own any GooGone but do have some acetone laying around.

Somebody posted pics...there are indeed 2 holes holding the H on. Bummer

 

[Q Tech]

2 holes indeed.

 

[oarnold]

Wow! That took either some strong dental floss or serious fishing line! :act064:

 

[Earl E. Bird]

I did not expect there to be holes. Guess new owners that choose to remove the big "H" back there could cover them with a decal.

My "GM sucks" emblem? >

 

[Shineaholic]

2 holes indeed.

that sucks.
