Default Red H badges

I bought a set of badges from H and A Accessories. I removed the rear badge, however my new one doesn't fit. The prongs are too far apart. I know the badges only fit 00-01 cars. And I think the 02's have larger badges. Are the prongs in different places?

I'm wondering if either they sent me the wrong badge, or could I have the wrong trunklid on my car?

I have the white "H" badges on my 05'. The 02+ badges are just larger, but the mounting holes are the same. As far as the holes not lining up, I have read that the rear badge will fit the front or rear, but the front badge will only fit up front. So is it possible you are trying to put the front badge in the rear spot? I have read of people putting them in the wrong spot and having this problem. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure I'm trying to put the correct one on. The front one has the 2 plus shaped studs, and is entirely covered with adhesive. The rear has the round studs, and has 2 strips of adhesive.

I'm going to call tomorrow and find out what they say.

I would say you have them backwards. My front one had the two strips (round studs), and the back one was entirely covered (plus shape studs). The one that goes in the front should be round so you can reuse the metal clips that should have come off the factory front emblem. At least that is how mine were on the 05'.

EDIT: There are instructions on the H and A website where you order them, and it shows the push nuts on the front, which should be the round studs.

As wierd as it sounds, the rear badge will fit on the front, but the front will not fit on the rear. You probably have them backwords. The larger of the two should be on the front.

I was planning to order these for my 02. It's good to know they fit, as I've read more than once that they don't

Ok. I'll check the front one as I haven't removed the old badge yet. I was actually going by the instructions on the ricks2k site whcih said the front black chrome one was entirely covered in adhesive and the rear wasn't. It's too bad I dropped one. Now it has some small scratches on it

They had limit availability about a month ago, I think because they were not being made anymore (Death of the NSX).....

Yep... says limited supply, silver and white are on backorder.....

Good luck!


To the OP, did you get them on?
