yes simply remove the badges and clean off the glue maybe wax where the badge used to be

however the H emblems have placement holes behind them so you have to either put up with the holes or bondo and paint them

Cheeno, that sounds like and seems like a great way to do that...Let us know how that works with the fishing line.

blowdryer... fishing wire... and some nail polish remover to remove the adhesive... but use the nail polish remover only if the blowdryer can't soften the adhesive... nail polish remover can remove the clear coat... so use it lightly...

I wouldn't use fishing WIRE. Monofiliment fishing line is good, or dental floss. I removed the ACCORD badge from the rear of my Accord with a hairdryer and dental floss. Remaining stickum came off by rubbing my thumb over it. Goo Gone or bug and tar remover also works well to remove any remaining stickum.

If your gonna get rid of the H it's better to weld the holes then putbondoin them. Because the bondo willcrack.

I have heard of body shop's using what they call plastic razor blades but not seen it personally. If A.D.D. doesnt kick in I'll google it in a lil bit.
