dont do it, it dont look right at all.
Im not sure if anyone has tried this before, but has anyone tried to create their own front and rear red H?
I have heard of people going to decal places and cutting out a red Square that fits perfectly behind the Red H on our cars to make it look liek an emblem. I'm not sure how it's possible on our cars because of the grill in the front, but maybe in the back.
The reason i want a fake one is becasue I don't have to deal with ppl stealing them as much.
Let me know what you guys think.

Benmunger tried it back in the day. Results were ok.

Dont do it just buy the real deal.
I have no problems buying the real ones if ppl are not going to gank them..
Does anyone have the pics of the fake ones?
Its really not as bad as it seems. Just get the real emblems because I had mine installed a few months ago and its still there. Plus it looks really nice on NHB :)
I got the real ones for front and back for $42. It was on sale at this JDK store in Arizona (they have a website and are popular and JDM honda parts, forgot the yahoo address).
...anyways, they do fit on front and back because if you remove both emblems you will notice 2 holes (for front you need to remove the mount the emblem is attached to to see what im tlaking about) for the JDM red "H"s to attach to (the red h's have a strong tape back with 2 hooks sticking out).
Its real easy to do and damn well hard to remove imo. The entire backside is taped like glue. What i did is take a flat head screw driver and rip the back emblem off and then use a blade to clean the rape off. Then i cleaned it and slaped it on evenly and gently to get a good fit.
front was trinky but i was able to cut half the work by releasing the tabs for the bumper located above the radiator, removed the hendge for the hood and took a blunt tool to force the bumper forward so I could get a screw driver down their to release the front emblem.
I used the dirt and dust as a guild to put the hendge back so the hood could close like it should again :). Those red H's are the best thing I could of done for that car and it looks so nice matching my red Si's on my blue civic.
but seriously, fake red h's? I heard of vinal steering wheel H's but car emblems? :O
the amount of effort you'd have to input plus the fact that it WON'T look as good is going to leave you unsettled.
you fuckin cheap ass. if you want red emblems, go fuckin buy some. they dont even cost that much. jesus. people these days r just cheap as fuck.
I think you guys are missing the point. This seems to be a case of 'just because' instead of the OP cheaping out. Take a whack at it, I'd be interested to see how they'd look with the raised H from our stock badges.
someone on clubrsx did and it came out pretty good. Ill try to find the link it was the diy section.
