Default Crx badge decal type R anyone?

I am going to be putting a B16b in my mk2 crx so I started wondering if there was something like a crx badge that I could put on to show that I'd done the swap. I don't want anything bling because I like the crx look as it is but I wondered if there was a badge that just said crx but the "R" was the type r red one. So it would look like cRx.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this or can anyone point me the direction of somewhere that might sell one?

i dont think i have ever seen a badge like that....

you could always get it custom made, but it woudl be a "Graphic" or vinyl decal. And dont be surprised if people on here give you **** for it. They dont like anything that isnt JDM

uhh....

why would u wanna broadcast ur swap to everyone?

cleanest thing i can think of to signify u have a swap like that would be the GSR's dohcVTEC badge, the prelude's sticker is clean, the integra's dohcVTEC hatch sticker, or the 99-00 Si's side decals. hell doesnt the jdm crx have a dohcVTEC side decal? use that.

I already have a crx vtec with the B16a so I have all the Dohc vtec bits and bobs (except the sir decal down the side). I wanted something that was almost the same as I have now so that only those with keen eyes would spot the difference.

And surely you don't get much more jdm than a B16b imported from Japan??

I'm not looking to impress anyone. I just wanted some kind of badge that would give an indication of the swap. And if I had paid the going rate for a b16b then I guess it may be a waste of money. As it is, I reckon it's not.

No offense dude, but where do you get off assuming he's impressing someone?

Just get the dohcVTEC sticker(s) on the side of the doors.. You could probably take a DOHC symbol off of an eclipse too..

You dont want to impress anyone, but you want to "SHOW" others that you have that kind of swap.

B series are not so cool anymore.
Maybe installing CTR headlights on your CRX would let other know what motor you have. Do you really thinkg people droolz over your ctr motor? Maybe in your area, because they're 5 years behind.

Hehehehe, you guys make me laugh. All I wondered was if there was a crx badge out there with a type R "r" in the middle. It would be discrete and not "in your face".

I'm doing this swap because I want to, not because I want people drooling over my car (it marks the paint ). I'm not all that fussy if you don't think it's a cool swap or not - it's MY car (plus, I'm 36 and don't give a damn about cool to be honest ). The only reason I even mentioned jdm was because ef93si said that people on here don't like non jdm stuff and my engine was imported from Japan. It's not something that I bought off ebay because someone said jdm yo!

Some people on here need to take a big deep breath and calm down a bit. It's a good site and there are obviously some good guys on here but why pick on me when all I'm asking is about a badge? And it is true that over here we are way behind with engine swaps etc but does that mean I'm a pioneer then??

Hehehe, anyway, I guess no-one knows where I can get a badge then? Thanks for the other ideas guys, I'll have a look round and post up what I finally do. Cheers.

white shoe polish with the numbers 12.8 on the windsheild usually does the trick
