I'm working on a new project and could use some input from the forum.

What I'm planning to do is to produce a free-standing "S" car emblem that would replace the stock Honda H on our cars.

I have the basic form completed:

...

The outer edge would be chrome and the interior of the S would be recessed and with a pebble-finish. The owner could then use touch-up paint to apply his own body color, or red, or black, etc. to the recessed area.

One of the first problems I ran into was that the front and rear emblems are the same size but have different pin locations. The front emblem has a pin spacing of 3/4" and the rear emblem has a spacing of 7/8".

I "think" I can make a common emblem that will fit both the front and rear body holes, but I'm not sure.

So the question is - should I pursue producing a single S emblem with pins that will fit both the front and rear body holes, or should I ignore that and just produce an emblem that has double-sided tape?

Your comments are appreciated.

Done! The link to the emblems: Here

Thanks!

I really like the idea Larry....

I know when I test fit mine that the rear H will fit the front holes - but it cannot have the plastic clips - if that makes sense. It would be nice to have a single, but worry about it falling off without the pegs to help hold it in place.

 

I wouldn't think you'd have to worry about it falling off if you used the right adhesive. I mean that 3M stuff is all that holds the side S2000 logo on.

 

I think the double sided type from 3M would work will too. I've used them plenty of times in my past cars and none of them have failed.

 

My Ricks S badges have never fallen off and they are adhesive. I've had them since I bought the car in 2002.

 

I feel #M is the way to go.

 

Excellent idea, Larry. I will also say go with 3M tape.

 

great idea larry. and i vote for the tape as well. my only q is does the proposed shape cover both the front and back holes?

 

Yes, it works out perfectly. The S will remain centered just like the H.

The pins on the back of the H are low - on the H crossbar. The bottom part of the S will cover those holes just fine.

 

I love the idea!!! ill take a couple of them.
