yes, it'll leave holes. Honda emblems (and most other emblems) use a combination of adhesive and these too little nubs that go into tiny yet noticeable holes. If you take it off youll have old adhesive and two little holes. What you'll need to do is take it to a body shop and have them shave the holes off, basically meaning they will plug up the holes, smooth it out, and paint over it.

to remove it, I've always just used a screw driver and been careful. A plastic wedge may be safer to avoid paint damage, but just rock it back and forth the loosen up the glue, then start pulling out. dont force it cause it will break, just coax it.
