Red "H" Mod ***56k, Why Bother?***
EDIT: I am updating this original post.
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.

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!
