We actually thought about this a lot (believe it or not) and spent a lot of time and money (one wased production run) getting a wheel badge that fit perfectly. It's designed to fit the concave space in the center of the wheel and completely cover the space.

Guys... I fabricated my own plastic adapter that "cups" the stock steering badge, and gives me a flat surface on the other side, which incidentally, fits perfectly to the radiator badge.

I've been meaning to post a photo how-to thread for a while, but I've been soooo lazy. Anyway, I'll try to get around to it tonight.

They come in only one color combo: black S on silver background.

How can I remove the badge if I don't like it? With what product? Won't the contact cement ruin my steering wheel? I'm worried about it.

I have honda "S" badges $6 .00 each front and back from the honda dealer, rick's wheel badges which are pure perfection, and a rick's steering wheel badge which didn't fit quite right, it left visible gaps from the side but I'm good with super glue and now it looks great! I have a spider man theme to my car (front license plate, spider on back plate, and spider man on center air vent) anyways everyone asks if my car is a spider, I say it's an s2000. So I get this idea looking at the back of a mitsubishi eclipse spyder. Long story short I took s2000 off the sides and put spyders there to go along with the spider-man theme. I like it and I know it's still an s2000 and I love my car so don't hate on me all you haters out there, o.k. !

As I think I indicated in an earlier post, the contact cement comes off easily. You can rub it off with your fingers or you can use something like Zenit. It will not ruin the steering wheel, and your only using a very small amount any way.
