Perhaps obvious to some but still I thought I would detail how to replace the front badge for those who haven't a clue...
This is a really nice way to improve the look of your car, replacing a tired badge really does make a difference.
You will need screwdrivers, hex sockets and I always get a hand with putting the bumper back on as it can be a pain to line back up.
Please Note: The Inner Fender positions need to go back exactly as they were, they will drop slightly when you take the bumper off.
There are 2 Hex screws in the fenders, 4 cross head screws to remove underneath, 4 clips (2 at rear of arch liner, 2 underneath bumper) and 2 hex screws underneath as it is slightly different from the RSX
Step 1
Remove the front bumper as per the RSX Service manual: http://www.itr-dc5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6545-rsx-workshop-manual/
Step 2
Behind the badge on the inside of the bumper are 2 screws, undo these to release the old badge.

After (front view):
Step 3
Line up the new badge and screw into place!
Step 4
Now just replace the bumper in the order you took it off, but make sure the Inner Fenders go back exactly as they should otherwise it just wont line up properly.
Here is before and after!
