Default honda or vtec in kanji

I have an 05 s2k and i am trying to find out if there is a symbol out there for a honda or vtec in kanji. I am about to get my rims powder coated and want to change the whole center cap logo with something that most people have not seen. if there is then please let me know where i can find it. Also i just got back from Afghanistan so the build is on the way i have ordered a whole list full of goodies and will be posting pictures soon

Since Honda is a true Japanese word, it would be right to use hirigana to write it out. But since I used google translate to get a copy paste of the "kanji" they gave me katakana.

ホンダ
Ho-n-da

You can use either hiragana or katakana really.

Oh and Vtec is just vtec in japan ha

uhm, well honda is a name, so kanji is a lot more appropriate,
本田
hon-da.
vtec is an abbreviation of English words so it would make no sense to change them into Japanese characters.
my suggestion would be to just put a 本 on the center cap.

I am using that second symbol which means rice paddy and i read in another forum that back in the day if you owned a rice paddy it was a sign of wealth so i think i am going to do that one.

They use katakana for VTEC in Japan. No Kanji for such term. They pronounce it as VUITEKKU.
