I'll tell you what I did just because I hate to drop any significant change on non-functional items like the emblems. I went ahead and flossed off the S2000 side emblems as well as the front and rear Honda emblems. I like the clean look of not having any emblems on the sides of the car. Then I stuck the "S" portion of the S2000 side emblems onto the front and rear where the Honda emblems used to be. No, it's not quite as good looking as Rick's colored emblems, but it didn't cost me anything and people really have weird looks on their faces when they see the S's on the front and back rather than the Honda emblems. Our cars are still relatively unknown to most people, so they're usually left scratching their heads trying to think of what the "S" is for. I'll try to take some pics and post them if anybody wants to see them. But man was it a pain getting that 3M adhesive off even with the remover solvent.






You do kind of have to angle the S's when you glue them on in order to cover up the prong holes that the regular Honda emblems connected into. I think it looks good though.

I am definitely going to put up some pics. I'm going to Vegas for vacation tomorrow until next weekend, so I will get them up then. I'll probably post a new Thread so it shows at the top of the list.

They may be non functional but I have the red Honda emblems on the silver S2K and it looks pretty awesome, red leather of course

Well I'm just saying that I can't swallow the price of those S emblems for the minor change in appearance. I'd rather buy other mods that I'd enjoy more, and using the old emblems still looks pretty slick.

I'm thoroughly happy with my S badges.
For me, the biggest reason to spend the cash is they look factory.
Add to that they're flat and easy to wax around and just look great.
I get compliments on mine all the time, adds to the mystique and still look classy.
Add the wheel emblems and it completes the look.

Seems to me like there are a lot worse ways to spend $100 on a stook.
I don't regret spending the bux one bit.

just my $.02
