I own a '02 Sebring silver with black interior and am interested in acquiring a set of Rick's badges - have seen them on an S2K and they look great. Trouble is he doesn't do a Sebring silver S on black but does do the reverse. Is anybody else out there interested in the black background with the Sebring siver S. I know he does a siverstone S on black but I don't really think that would co-ordinate as well. If you are interested please post and we can show Rick the interest level - if there is one.

I felt exactly the same way as you before I ordered mine. I was worried that the silver's wouldn't match and it would look funny. To be honest, the amount of silver on the badge is so little that you can barely tell the difference IMO.

With the wheel badges, however, I was a little disappointed that they're so much darker than the wheel. I know Rick is coming out with a Black S on Sebring silver background for the wheel badges....I'm still debating whether I want to get those or not.

Here's some pics:

Got the same color combo as you. Did not want to wait for the possibility that Rick would manufacture the combo with sebring so ordered the silverstone silver on black for both the badges and wheels.

As HondaS2K8888 states, the amount of silver is so small that you do not even notice it on the body. As for the wheels, I would try the silver on black as the other way is more noticeable.

Will be in Naples within the next month so if you want a live view, will let you know exact time.

Yes, would love to see it live. If he is doing sebring silver with black S for the wheels, I think that would match up nice, otherwise your suggestion sounds good. The badge in the picture looks good, unless I hear any negatives will likely go with what there is available. LondonRam, just had my headlights cleared and calipers + valve cover powder-coated sebring silver - itwill look awesome with the badges added I think. If you were thinking of these mods you can get a chance to see them live as well. Look forward to meeting you.

I did the black back ground with the silver "s" wheel badgets i think they look great. But i have a black car. Don't know how the black back ground would look on the silver car. But i love them they make the wheels have a new personality and meaner look!

Thanks for the feedback Italian Bucwheat - think for the wheel badges I would go with the black S on the sebring silver for wheel badges or I may go completely different and go with the OEM Honda badges for the front and back - they come in black with silver S I think - so many choices.
