To remove it open your hatcch and remove the interior trim where the tail lights are. tehre should be a few bolts there. You might have to remove the tailights themselves before you cna get to the center section. I ma not sure since I have never done it on a 2g.

remove the center tail light from the car, remove the eclipse emblem and paint it then put it back in.
