You could always have a local body shop take the clear complelety off and re-spray clear coat.

Did you actually drill your hood to put in the emblem?

Just curious cause I had the exact same hood, but there were dimples (instead of holes) that were marked to drill for the emblem, but didn't have the courage to take a drill to the hood. h:

If you do paint the hood, have you considered painting the emblem black? The chrome kinda stands out like a sore thumb.

LOL, that's funny. It's like you read my mind. I was thinking to myself, "man he really needs to ditch those headlights." and I scroll down a little further and see your comment.

The invader vis cf hood actually looks good on civics. The pic he has doesn't do it justice.
