looks like an eye ball looking right at you!
that's kind of cool.....what did you use?
a little sanding involved?
the machined finish doesn't look as smooth as i remember from my car.
nun the less looks clean and uh.....yeah like an eye ball

The job is difficult, because the "H" doesn't come off with paint stripper, although the clear coat comes off fine (but I don't know what would happen if the paint stripper were to get on the vinyl airbag!). The "H" must be anodized onto the cap.
After I sanded off the black "H" I found out that the "H" is actually stamped into the metal!! So the metal, itself, needed to be shaved down. This has to be done without touching the surrounding vinyl.
I might polish it out a little more, but it is already much shinier than the OEM version. I'm trying to get the finish to match my Voodoo shift knob.
I'll post a pic of it installed later today.

I don't want my car to be a rolling billboard for the Honda company, either. Honda has done nothing for me, except trying to rape my wallet.

you get a little H on the front, back, wheels and steering wheel. tring to pass it off as an exotic? perhaps you have a brand name complex? i think dr.ruth wrote a paper on this...
you bought a honda, get over it. better yet, be proud of it.
as for the wheel, looks a little nekked. though you seemed to have removed it properly so i give ya a
for craftmenship and a 
for final product.
