Yesterday morning I woke up and saw this:

Wasn't until later in the day that I realized the H and Si were gone off the back, with a little paint :frusty:

I live in such a safe neighborhood too, which is the weird thing. I left my key in the mailbox one night, with all my house / car keys attached, the next morning I couldn't figure out where my keys were, till I walked down to the mailbox and pulled them out of the lock. Anyway, my car is stock, except a skunk2 shift knob and a short shift kit - why someone wanted these is beyond me.

I'm going to do the eBay badgeless $30 grill - I know that they aren't real popular around here but whatever... what I need now is a cheap and reliable place to get the rear H - I'll just leave the Si off the back and pull the Civic badge off with dental floss.

Thanks, not trying to spend $95 for an H though - OEM is fine - just need a reputable / affordable place online to get one.

There's gotta be someone making cheap knockoffs, 45$ each plus shipping is nuts. I feel like 45$ for both would be still a touch high.

If someone gives you the emblems for cheap on here you can get the red stickers on ebay

The funny thing [to me] is I got "out" of the car game a while ago, bought the ep3 because it was good on gas (not as good as an EK that I was looking for), basically stock (BC short shift) and 2-owner. I have next to no intentions to do anything to it other than drive and general maintenance.

Someone jacked the Si off of my front grill right after i bought mine. I still havent replaced it... I'd like to be just havent justified spending ~$40 for the tiniest piece of plastic.

Same thing happened to my front as well. I went with the Ebay badgeless grill and will simply leave it at that. If the urge beats the finance if it, I will respray the car and go Mugen up front and simply deal with the consequences. Until then though badgeless it is.

Sorry to hear that bro, I might have one for you in about a week. I will be rebadging and I'll give you the emblems for free if you haven't already got them. Sucks that people do crap like that though.....
