Would somebody PLEASE make plugs to fill the badge holes like the license plate plugs? I want to de-badge the thing. They are in my way bigtime come cleaning time. Next best thing is Ricks badges I know, but I want no badges. Couldnt believe it when the dealer stuck STICKERS all over my brand new car.

:rolleyes: Go to Lowe's...or Home Depot....Find some "Hole-Plugs" that fit the size of the holes, left by your badge-removal. Spray paint them with your OEM color....Insert into the holes....!!!!

Or you can buy the center console plastic pins from Honda and have them painted. Anytime you paint plastic parts, you need to prep them properly or the paint won't stick. Trim pin to fit hole. Sand to rough up, primer, color coat, clear coat. Light sand in between coats. Install with small amount of silicone sealant.

I believe part #15 is what you need:

Check out your own car to see what they look like.

That's what I did on my first S2000. I think that they were .25" furniture plugs made from black plastic with .30" relatively flat heads.

I used that new Krylon Fusion paint for plastics to prime, Honda touch up paint over that and then Fusion clear coat to finish.

Not that you may ever want to, but, they were a PITA to remove once installed.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking i may take some stainless screws, grind the heads smooth, polish the hell out of them etc..or do the painted plug thing, or ricks badges, or nothing.
Just a pain waxing around that stuff.
