Debadge charge door

I had considered a debadge but I have no idea if there are any alignment dimples or anything behind there.
 
Or there's one that says Turbocharged, which would be more accurate. I believe supercharged is typically used to mean gear-driven boost.
From perusing the de-badging videos for Hondas, it doesn't appear that there are any obstructions or bumps beneath the badges. With some care, they should come off cleanly.

So are they just stuck on with adhesive?

I always thought badges were riveted on, thru small holes in the sheet metal of the car body. It wasn't until Googling the subject of aftermarket badging that I started to ask myself if some of the trim, including badging, is just stuck on with some really good adhesive.

Most often they are stuck on with double sided tape, but sometimes the larger ones have alignment holes as well (which would need to be filled and painted, etc). Given that mine doesn't seem perfectly straight, my guess is double sided tape ;)

Does anyone else think that the badge on the charge door is just too big?

The badging is necessary to keep owners from accidently putting fuel in the electric port or plugging the electric plug into the gas tank. Duh.

I think there is an argument to be made that such idiot instructions are neither necessary nor useful. So far as I know, no other plug-in EV has such idiot instructions on the door to the charge port. Since it's not possible to insert the nozzle of a gas pump into the charge port, I'm not sure how one would wind up squirting fuel in there by accident. I'd think you'd have to be pretty drunk or pretty stoned to manage that!

But of course, you're entitled to your opinion.
