Do i need to remove the factory emblem?

Alonso, I did a bunch of research on 9th Generation Honda. It can be removed, but I chose not to. The emblem is convex and the sides of the emblem overlap approximately 1/32 of and inch. That being said, I just heated it up with a hair dryer to make the glue really sticky and put it over the factory emblem. At first I was skeptical, but it has been on the car for a month now and no issues at all. Looks really sharp. Good luck with your Honda.

No removal is needed. The new red emblem fits neatly over the original emblem. It sticks very well so I think it's there to stay.

No, you don't need to remove it, actually you can place it on the factory emblem, and It will fit perfectly

Hi Alonso, you dont need to remove the factory emblem, you install it over the factory one

I used my old emblem. It's hard to find a new "emblem". Seems like all I could find was a vinyl overlay

The reason you have to remove the old emblem is: the replacement (red) emblem has two plastic pins that sick out of the back...they go into the holes on the grill that were occupied by the screws from original emblem

Factory size (Standard replacement) many on here are just decals, you do not want that you want the plastic backed emblem and it will snap into place.

Hair dryer. Get the chrome emblem hot. This will soften the adhesive. Then slowly pry the chrome emblem forward. If you have it, use a piece of fishing line to slice behind the emblem. If there is any adhesive once the emblem is removed, don't worry about it. It comes off pretty easy. Just get it warm again.

The ones on the front hood and back hood have to be removed 1st with fishing line etc. The steering wheel and wheel caps go on top of existing ones. I found some more updated emblems on www.concept3performance.com/. They are better quality and have a look that better matches the 2013-2014 Kia emblem design.

No it's all one piece, you need the emblem and fasteners those dont usually come with it unless stated

Karen, Yes as long you do not have any other factory or aftermarket grille accessories. Thank you!

I took the new grill and put the original emblem from the old grill. It looks like you lost something without something in that spot.

You may install your original bow tie on this replacement grille. The emblem plate may be different from original due to OEM copyright.

The emblem on the set that I bought was a stamped metal piece with adhesive tape behind it. It was already applied to the rails. I just removed mine, but I would think if you are careful, you could remove them and relocate them elsewhere.

Yes it fit perfectly. The emblem in the front has to be grinded down since there is no hole for the emblem. The emblem in the back fits fine because there is a hole. I paid the dealer service center to install them. They also sell the emblems as well. Just ask the parts manager. Hope this helps.

They do not need to be removed on the trunk emblem...only on the hood emblem since the US version doesn't come with an emblem there.

This is a stationary emblem. (not the sliding one that is on the back hatch on some models) It has a black background. Please define "oem" for me and I will be happy to answer for you.

Yes, but all you have to do is pop the emblem off the stock/other grill.. It's fairly easy!

You have to remove it. a plastic spatula works awesome slowly wiggle it under the old emblem. Make sure you clean off all old glue also. Good luck

I cleaned the surface very well with the alcohol swabs that were supplied. Installation was quick and easy. I placed it where I wanted it, made a couple pencil marks, peeled the tape of stuck it and stepped on them to insure good adhesion. These are genuine factory parts. All emblems, etc are applied to cars with, these days with adhesive. Drilling holes would be a point of rust. 2500 miles and they are all still there! Hope this helps!
