if there is no break in the clearcoat/paint, you can get that fixed for about 50 dollars. Look into "paintless dent removal."

Like what everyone else said, fishing string. You might need some goo gone.

do you really think anybody is going to notice, or care if they do notice? 5 bucks says at least as many people will think NEGATIVELY About it than people will think postively. just leave the car. or change the car itself..?

Actually everyone else said dental floss, but thanks for playing and better luck next time.

Funny thing is I see people take off there 323 318 badges as being the poor man's bimmer or a 735 replaced to a 740-750 and I have seen a 320SL rebadged as a 600SL which looked very convincing. So it is not just just civic drivers that want to take their badges off :)

God, can nobody here to a proper movie quote? ;)

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

Oh man, Cyberian beat me to it by one minute. :D

Forget vtech stickers, just use your key to engrave VEE-TEK on the side - or do it in duct tape.

Then you'll be really cool.

Oh, and I almost forgot, your car will go faster.

Dude, you're black door handles and steel wheels clearly designate which model your Civic is.

leave it be, u might damage the paint and thats expensive.

being a civic owner i can tell a civics trim without looking at the emblem most of the time. no point trying to hide it and thus draw more attention to your cars trim:p

yeah, if you wanna trick people into thinking you have a higher model civic, follow the instructions previously mentioned. btw, if you wanna go for the mack-daddy, the EX-model, take a hammer to your roof, throw some saran wrap over the whole, and people will think you have a moonroof/sunroof. :D
