Why? Because Integras look better IMHO, already have projectors (ripe for HID projector retrofit) and the GS-R already has a B18C engine so no need to do a swap. That's why I bought mine.

I personally never really liked the look. is it something that you guys grew to like? i never used to like gunmetal or black rims, but they grew on me and i love them. maybe i'll grow into the shaving emblems fad too

Please explain to me how having Honda badging is JDM.
edit: Oh...You're only 19. That explains your ignorance.

it's no fad. Shaving emblems has been around almost as long as cars have, or at least as long as people have been modifying cars (nearly a century).
It just looks so much cleaner.

VSM_DC2 was replying to the shaved emblems, saying it's the JDM way, probably just being sarcastic.
Honda badging is not JDM. As someone else said it's more "anti-USDM" because they're all labeled Honda everywhere outside of North America.

i understand it's been around forever. fad is the wrong word. i meant since i grew into liking darker rims, maybe i'd grow into liking the shaved emblems look. for some reason i just think the front bumper looks weird when it's shaved. however, i do like it on some cars, i.e. civic si

exactly its not like we are debating flame decals, neon lights, and shitty fiberglass body kits. Some people like to pay homage to the origin. Honda. others just dont care.
