I'm just starting to look into this, my car is an '01, has been garaged most of her life so there isn't much sun fading. How well do you think it will turn out afterwards??

^^ After moving to phoenix, my accord debadged itself under the hot sun. Even after frequent washings and direct sunlight, I can still see a ghost emblem

Even with a "ghost emblem" it should start to fade out over time. You have paint that hasn't seen any light and some that has faded. The part that hasn't seen light will fade faster. Obviously if your paint has faded badly (you will know this when you take the emblem off) it will take much longer and may never go fully away. Most likely, you will see it fade in a year or so to the point you have to look for it if not up close.

Glad it helped you but please don't bump threads that are over 6 moths old unless you are asking a legit question.

Even if there is ghosting, just wetsand the area, apply some spray clearcoat, wetsand again, polish compound, wax and you're done! Nothing hard about it at all.

argg I didn't think that the rear honda logo would have pegs that slide into two holes in the trunk! I think i'm just gonna super glue it back on and just debadge the 'accord special edition' logo... Anyone know if THAT logo is just glued or does it have 'pegs' as well?

The only logo on the rear that should have the pegs is the H.
