I have the emblem on order and wanted to make sure that I put it on the same spot as the jdm ctr. From what I've seen in some pics, it looks like it has maybe a 1/4" space from the left of the "civic" emblem?

These look like they're spaced differently. Maybe it's just the pics?

I think the usdm "Civic" emblem is located differently from the JDM CTR. I think if you want a perfect match you have to move the Civic emblem a little to the right, then add the union jack.

Actually the Union Jack only comes on the Civics that are in Europe. I have yet to see shots of ones in Japan with that on it.:mangel::msmile:

actually i have a edm civic and they don't come with the flag. And it's kinda anti-jdm really because it's showing that the car is built in the uk.

I think it would look good under the side marker lights, but then you would need two of them.

That is one reason I like having it. It is funny how many people ask me why I have a UK Badge on my car and when I tell them it was built there I get some very weird looks.

A few years back I was at a dealer that sells Mercadies, BMW, Porshe, other hight end cars and even Honda's. Well in the service area getting some parts for my mother's BMW and a free car wash for my SI and while there I 7 series BMW owner made a comment about the new Accord at the time and how only only Euro cars were good. Well my smart ass goes that why I bought my Honda. I got this look and he goes no that is that Japans junk. Told him no it was make in the UK and showed him the UK badge on the back. He did not belive me. Well the parts counter I was at did the BMW's and Honda's only and the parts manager goes "Yep that is made in the UK". The BMW owner just shut up after that and gave the parts manager a look.

Might just be my opinion, since I'm from New York, but it's just another thing to worry about having stolen.

I think if I lived in the city I might think that way. Out in the country not that much of a worry.

seems to be about as far as the width of the I in civic.

i actually read all of that. yikes.

anyway, back to the original question.

use the film that goes over the emblem as a guide. i lined it right up to the Civic emblem and it looks right to me.

Noooooooooo. I already ordered the emblem and realized it's a "console" emblem. The dimensions are 1-1/4" H, 2-1/2"L. It's going to look all huge on the trunk! What should I do? Would it look stupid?

It's too late. It says, "all sales are final". This sucks.

I guess I'll just be original and have a big ass British flag on the back. Oh well.

Well, I'll just say that I put it on anyway. You can definitely say that it stands out lol. But to be honest, it actually looks pretty good imo. It's kinda eating at me knowing that it's not authentic, but I'm thinking of it as an aftermarket mod of an original part, he,he. I'll post up some pics tomorrow because I didn't get a chance to get the camera out before dark.

I shoot alot of drift events in Fl. And its more a less a joke between me and the fellow drifters.

Just like when I owned my Saturn. I called it a Type R..even had Type R(real ones) on it.:pound:

And it was my Auto x bitch.

Yeah, it's ebay. To make sure you get the real one, it has to say "authentic", and/or show the oem packaging in the picture. I found that out after.

Really? I'd still trade anyone for the real one in a second.
