with the 5g civic i peeled off the back 'Civic' and the 'CX' off, and i just used a hair dryer and some bug/tar remover and it worked fine...i just had to rub a bit to remove the glue. with the 5g's the 'Civic' and 'CX' are only stickers so it's a bit different. on my new 5g i plan to remove all the badges including the [H] emblem and replace the [H] emblem with the 99-00 'Civic' badge...some may call it rice, but i think it should look ok. just my 2 cents.
