i'd like to take the front and back emblems off, but bc of the holes i can't.

buying colored ones kind of defeats the purpose.

so how bout somebody makes a small little thing that will look good and get rid of the H's?

it doesnt have to be honda...could be just a little bar or a little triangle -- just anything to cover the holes.

Seems to me that if you are going to have SOMETHING there that you may as well have the Black (or red if your car is) emblem. At least they are solid and easy to wax around. I think they look good too,esp. on a same color car ie. black on black or red on red.

Well you could use those holes to mount steer horns. Any other suggestions?

I agree. I would completely de-badge if possible without body work, and would consider a very small, discrete badge a good alternative. Maybe something that reflects Honda's racing heritage? Thought about the Mugen logo, but it's not really attractive.

Easy. Two rubber body plugs. You can paint them to match. They would look like those license plate holder plugs. Hardly noticeable unless you look close.

I like how the badges look, personally. The colored ones like really nice too.

i bought the upgraded emblems for my black car... i now think that the original emblems in black, on a black car, would look the best (they would be more subtle, but you would have to look somewhat closely to see them). dont know if the original emblems could be painted, or if they are sold in black- has anyone tried this?

Try using the little plugs at the back of some ballpoint pens to cover up the holes.

I think the Red UK badges are the nads on Black...


What about the side badges embossed in something (like the chrome front and backs) so we don't have to polish around the stupid holes and catch the towels on the sharp side of the S...
