2001 Protege Lx 2.0 -stock :(
Are the badges on the back of third gens screwed in or is there an adhesive?
thanks
 
well it depends, i have a 99, so i know on the 99-00 they have screws...

but for the 01-03.5 im pretty sure those guys have adhesive...
 
we are the true third gen...we were the orginal third gen, then 01-03.5 is the new and improve 3rd gen after plastic surgery...literally plastic :-P..

we have pins...i have the 01-03 protege badge and that has pins so i think they are all pins
 
...wow, ok, i guess that we're all wrong...

so what do we do to fill the holes after the badges come out?
 
*sigh* there are 2 plastic caps that sit in the holes. There are two metal *nubs* on the back of the emblem that fit into the plastic caps on the car. Those caps come out easily and when you take the badge off your bigget enemy is "adhesive"
 
Hey TreFLip999 us 99-00 are third generation proteges SIR
Not second generations thank you very much
We are the first generation third generations lol
 
we no need no steeeiinking baaadges

Adhesive and pins. I pryed mine off with a plastic scraper and hot glued the plastic inserts back in filled the hole with hot glue shaved it off flush and painted them black mica. Looks ok... would way rather fill the holes and french the plate and repainty the whole trunk lid - my bike rack is wearing on it big time !
OOps I thought I had a good pic of the finished product - must be at home.
