The methods are discussed in a few other threads scattered about, but I will rehash them here.
As for the front, here is what I did: I started by removing the pop up tabs on the top of the bumper cover than are under the hood indicated by the yellow circles.
I then lifted the top of the bumper cover up and reached in and popped out the 5 tabs on the grill indicated by the red. Simple as that.
As for the rear: I opened up the hatch and looked into the area above the license plate where the license plate lights are. I then used a long flat bladed screwdriver to break off the two rivets holding on the plastic "H" and the emblem just fell off.
For the front emblem I used a flat piece of chrome PVC used for chrome rocker panels on like Cadillacs and such. I then covered the chrome PVC with red reflective vinyl. The chrome PVC gave a nice flat background to work with. I then drilled the two holes in it so the posts on the back of the "H" could stick through and line it up right.
I used reflective red high performance vinyl and 3M double stick tape to reattach the "H" emblems.

Damn good idea man! Thanx for the tip. Might have to head out to Home depot and grab me some tape this weekend.

I keep debating with myself what color scheme I want to go with my BOM FIT. I can't decide if a red badge would be visually aesthetic or maybe a blue badge for a change? Not bright blue, but a off/greyish flat blue.

i also used a piece of sheet metal behind the front H emblem so the tape would be strong over the holes, i wonder why i couldnt find this thread way before, these pictures are perfect to see how to do everything, great job!
not bad.. looks pretty good from far.. I need to get front red H's.. I have rear ones that were made for the fit.. the rear holes fit perfect and fits flush into the hole awesome!

regarding having a red badge on the BOM Fit. it actually looks really nice. i to thought that it wouldnt go together but i was wrong.
to the OP, nice way to get that redness lol. looks pretty legit
How does that front H come off and how did you get off the spoiler? Also how did you get the back one off without breaking it? Assuming back one was just very carefully.

I did pretty much the same thing ( taking off and putting back on of logos ) but I didn't use a coloring backing and just painted my H's and taped them back on
