Default Argg Bad week

I need to vent out my anger!!

Along with a shitload of work to do for school since finals are coming up, my S got violated again for the second time in less than a week. I should park in the garage but its my daily driver and it scrapes everytime I pull in and out of the garage.

5 days ago my radio antenna got stolen. Ok, I just went to the dealership, paid the $18 and got a new antenna. No biggie, no permanent damage done to the car.

But this morning when I was leaving to school, I noticed my emblems were gone. I thought I moved away from all those damn ricers and my neighborhood was a pretty decent one. Guess not. Anyways the back emblem looked like they took it off pretty clearly, but they made a fat inch scratch in the front.

Anyways the search hasn't been working. I was wondering how much it would cost to just go badgeless. Fill in the holes, etc. I like how the front looks without the H, and plus I won't need to worry about another stolen emblem.

Oh and also.. how do I get the putty stuff off?

PS: Anyone want to sell me cheap emblems?

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune, man. I don't see why a clay bar wouldn't be able to take any residual putty off the paint... How bad is the scratch up front?

Ok, forgive me because I am old. I am 38.

Can someone here explain this to me? These freaking Honda badges are NOT that damn expensive. Why the hell would someone go thru the TROUBLE, much less the risk of getting shot, to steal freaking HONDA badges?!?! This crap seems to happen all the time to these cars, meanwhile, I have NEVER read where someone had their "Viper GTS" badges stolen, or "Porsche 911" badges stolen, or....

Seriously, what gives???? Should I just go buy $600 worth of Honda badges and hand them out in my community to keep these pricks from damaging my S2000?

best bet for removing the glue from the fenders is getting GLUEGONE from autozone or something like that (its like orange peel oil or something). Drip it on to the adhesive and use your finger nail. It will take sometime, but its the safest method I know about. Remember to Wax the fenders when ur done to keep the shine

And sorry to hear about that shit mang! I have some badges if you need them let me know
