And the front emblem will be gone, well today If I stop being lazy
It looks kinda funny, do I have a big tool box or a little car LOL

It's a one off piece I had made.
I bought a factory replacement panel and took it to the body shop, they cut out the raised up H and filled it in. The original panel off the car is gonna go back to the body shop so they can shave the emblem on that one as well as the wiper. That way I can still use a wiper in the winter but completely shaved the rest of the year. Plus I'm gonna have them paint the second one off of trying to match its current color cause painting it off the paint code its its a just a little off. Its just a shade darker looking, its close but enough for me to notice, but then again with metallics it's damn near impossible to match it completely. But we'll see how the second one comes out

..any chances u could sell me one
Dark I've had the SAME ideas man. I want no emblems on my car. How much was the replacement panel from Honda? Shouldn't be more than 10-20 bucks right? And how much did the shop cost to remove the H and the wiper spot? I totally want to do this!
and thanks everyone for the comments
Its very very simple. Pull the cover off the rear wiper arm and its a 10mm nut holding the arm on, make note of the wiper position (if its going back on) and remove the nut and wiggle the wiper arm off.
When you open the hatch on the bottom edge of the inner plastic cover there are 2 plastic rivets, push the centers in and then pull the rivets out, then the little grab handle thing for closing the trunk, there are 2 tabs, pry those back and pull the handle out. There no screws or anything holding on the plastic panel, just pull around the edges and it pops off.
From there there's 3 10mm screws holding in the wiper motor, unplug the motor, unbolt it and remove it. From there there 1 10mm screw just to the drivers side of center, take that off and then its just like 6 or so plastic retaining clips holding it in. Start at one end and work your way over, just push the little tabs on the clips in and they release.
That's all there is to it. I had to figure it out as I went and it look maybe 10 minuets till the original panel was off the car. Its stupid simple.
well I just installed the J's grill.... that lasted all of about 30 seconds, I just can't do it, the little scoop looks so ****ing stupid. So I'm gonna put the J's grill up for sale, if it doesn't sell I'll get it fiberglassed/moddified
Yeah screw J's grille. I have an unpainted ebay ricer grille in my backseat. Not installing it til I go to the shop with a factory panel. No wiper hole + no front/rear emblems FTMFW. NAKED!
