I purchased a set of used emblems to badge the rear of my naked Legend and have a few questions on preparation and installment.

1. Being that they are used, the clearcoat is worn off a bit and I would like to add a nice layer of it on them. Any products recommended?

2. What is used to paste the emblems?

3. And the most important part, is there a diagram showing the exact OEM positions for the emblems on 1994 and 1995 Coupes? Meaning, how far apart are the L E G E N D letters, their height above the keyhole, and the position of the upper left Acura emblem.

I have OCD and want this done right. If any of you have time and a ruler, I would appreciate some numbers or a nice little diagram showing me this.

I swear I did many searches and nothing answered the above questions.

Quick Help, I want to re-do my trunk lid, but I'm not sure what it takes to get the old letters off, and I'm afraid to damage the paint.

How did you remove the letters, and what did you do to prep the paint prior to putting the new letters on?

THX

check it out dude...heat up the emblems with a hair dryer and then use some dental floss or kite string to slice through the adhesive. Use some goo-gone to get the remaining adhesive off...then use rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth to clean the lid...and then all you do is peel off the backing of the emblems and stick them on the car.

since you have a '95 your going to get a foam guide to place the individual letters on the car, but i think you will be able to do without since the letters are going to leave a ghost on your lid.
