I bought the '02 badge
There are two holes behind the badge, just under one inch apart.

Have the holes filled and painted by a bodyshop. Simple and cheap!
Getting the badge off w/o removing the bumper is not easy - there are clips behind that you cannot get to unless you remove the bumper.
I've seen it suggested that you could pry up the emblem enough to be able to cut the pins, letting the rest of the pin with the clip attached fall inside the bumper. I can't comment on how successful that would be w/o damaging the paint on the bumper however.
You will be left with holes afterwards - probably less desirable than the emblem.

leave them on and be Acura PROUD!!! 
theWB,
Funny that you want to remove the front badge.
I just put it back on again. I have been driving around for more than a year without one since the car came without one. However, slowly, it started nagging me. In the end, I ordered one from Dali Racing and then had it around the house for more than two months. Last Monday (yes, 21st) I wanted to do the Odyssey battery install but it was kinda late so I decided to put the logo back on.
Here are some pictures with the car without the logo:

Putting it on was straighforward. When looking up close you could still see where the holes had been filled. One minute with a 4mm drill and two minutes to put the logo on. Has a self-adhesive back.
I'm not sure if the OEM logo is the same so it might be difficult to get it off. It's plastic so you might break it free. Have no idea what it what look like underneath though.

theWB, did you end up removing the badge? How did it go? I see that many say that the prongs need to be sawed, but those that are giving that guidance are '91-'01 owners that have the old version of the badge and not the open badge.
Do you think the instruction on page 3 is applicable to the 2002+ NSX?
Any other feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
