Anyone shaved the rear honda emblem? I'm considering it, but I want to know what I'm getting into first. My biggest fear is having to repaint the entire trunk.

A good bodyshop will repaint the whole trunk.  Some may just patch the area and blend with the rest of the trunk.

If it were me, I would consider having the whole trunk repainted, just to avoid blend lines.  But you also run the risk of the paint match not being perfect.  On the other hand, it's such a small area that you probably won't notice the blend lines as much.

My recommendation is to find a good bodyshop and see what they are willing to do.

You don't have to repaint the trunk, but then you'll have holes in your trunk lid.  You could probably have a shop fill the holes and then paint the area and blend it with the rest of the trunk lid.  Do what Mark says though.  Find a good body shop and have them do the work.  It's not as big of a deal as you may think.

What about the side molding? Is that just adhesive, or does it have holes also?

If it's a sedan, there are holes.  If it's a coupe, it's just double sided tape.
