I'll trade for your Advans, haha. Honestly, I'm a bit irritated at the rash of these coming out. It's hard as all hell to have something original on a Honda, which is why I kept my badges a secret for so long. But, progress and all of that. I may have to find some different ones now.

There have been quite a few of us trying to locate badges like these for the last 5+ years. Not to burst your bubble, just saying you're not the first to try and find something like this. Diez's car triggered a lot of interest in badges like these.

I actually bought 2 red ones from a seller on Ebay. Not sure if I'm going to install them just yet though.

I remember that, I have had a few questions from people about whether mine were Diez's or something of the sort. His were Honda F1 badges, I believe. Those, I have yet to find. I found mine some years ago, and did keep rather low key about it solely for the fact that I had seen nothing else like them. I will say Diez was my inspiration for searching for them, though. Even before I became a member, I was looking.

I can honestly say, and this is not me bragging, that I probably was one of the first to put these on an S2000; if this forum is any show of how many are out there. Mine are the pre-Thailand ones (or wherever they're made off of eBay), and came from Japan. Not too put any of the others down, but how many searched, versus how many found. These badges were nowhere on this forum when I joined (minus Diez's F1s). Not a single place.

Honestly I am not seeing these badges being trendy? I can only find a handful of s2000's with these badges, even serching google. That being said though does it really matter if its trendy or not? It sounds like you have an elitist approach to own these badges...

I think they are awesome since it adds a bit of nostalgia to the car. And as others have pointed out the badge does seem to be out of place a little bit on the rear but I am going to give it some time to decide if I want to switch it or not.

I think they came in red and white. I could be wrong but that's all I can find on their original cars.

either way, first or last I love em especially with the CR lip. They signify the S heritage to me.

Not elitist. I'm very big on originality, but now it seems to have made it's way away from me. By the way, searching Google will yield few results. A few cars in Japan, and mine. So be it.

It doesn't seem out of place at all, if your car looks stockish. Due to the older style of the badges, it looks out of place with wings, diffusers, etc. Were I you, I'd probably run the front one and delete the rear.

Red backing with silver lettering, and black with silver lettering for the S600. Since we're on the subject, none of us have S800 emblems. The S800 emblems are a smaller "H" with "S800" directly under it. These are all S600 badges.
