I removed my Type s and CDTI straight away. Really easy to do too.

springsta-cdti · 16th April 2012, 19:45

Thanks for the pics, might have to try that on the weekend

Rogerc41 really like your rear splitter would that fit on a 5door?

jonno66 · 16th April 2012, 20:02

I have debadged both the Civic and Type R on mine

Gp_kho · 16th April 2012, 20:05

Looks good having debadged may have to do mines now

rogerc41 · 17th April 2012, 20:47

Springsta thats the rear GP splitter. I'm pretty sure that the kit fits 5 door too.

I've been meaning to remove the Civic badge....makes a big difference for such a little mod

To remove your badges just use some like a fishing line and use it like dental floss then when its of just rub your finger on the foam to get most of that off, then use something like tar removal then thats it job done. It's allot easier and quicker than other ways that I've heard of. It'll literally take about 10mins.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would debadge their car, especially a type R. It just ruins the look of a car IMO

In most cases it's just the civic badge that people remove IMO it gives the boot a smoother look in my case it was too close to the stripe so removing it made it symmetric ImageUploadedByTapatalk1336218326.149192.jpg

I can see why people remove the Civic badge, but the Type R one? I saw a debadged R the other day and IMO it just looked wrong - like someone had bought the kit to change the look of the car but forgot the badge.

rogerc41 · 5th May 2012, 13:39

I did mine for the same reason as robbobaggins, just to smooth off the boot area and make it symetrical. Plus the fact that i think the Honda badges are cheap, shiney and nasty.

There are a lot of reasons. Generally speaking, it's for a cleaner look, or to draw less attention. Maybe they are going for a sleeper look? Some people go a step further and remove the body kit on their Type R (or other halo car) and replace it with the standard spec kit.

I know someone running full Integra Type R running gear (DC2) in their EG Civic. Outside it is a freshly resprayed in standard milano red with a brand new BREEZE sticker (the lowest version of the EG Civic in Australia). No body kits, no visible signs of modifications, even height looks standard.

As with any modifications, everyone has different opinions as to what they like. From complete sleepers to something that looks like it came straight out the fast and the furious.

I myself will be removing my Civic badge next weekend.
