Buy a daily driver. Where are you parking your car?

 

Put regular Integra ones on it.

 

Mine got stolen, too. I just put some cheap ones on from Pepboys. Never been touched since

 

GTR badge from Pepboys

 

i got all of my badges stolen twice. replaced them with oem type R both times, and it cost me almost 200 bucks. i got them shaved, never worried about it again.

 

None of that ketchup and mustard stuff going on.

 

it actually doesnt look bad with the badges shaved. However, i am kind of thinking about replacing them wiht the jdm honda badges.

People are going to steal those too.

 

jsk62 what did you need to shave your emblems? The back emblem, where it got stolen, has about a quarter of an inch of a scratch/chip from the tool that the guy used when he stole it.

 

shave the area where it says acura and get the dc5 itr honda badge, looks much better IMO, on the frontget the jdm H.

err i was wondering..when u shave badges how do u manage to hide the little holes u get when u take out the badges? it shouldnt require any serious bodywork or anything at all right?

he shaved it, so there are no holes or anything.

 

attach a spark plug and coil to the back of the badge next time,

 

replacing with jdm honda badges is a STUPID idea if you already know your car is susceptible to badge-jacking. I voted for shaved.

What does this do? I'm sorry, but I don't get it, please explain. Thanks

 

Theft is inevitable. The badges suck enough at $60, but the paint damage is the worst. I have fake red 'H''s f/r - $25 retail for 2. No theft issues. This is the cheapest, easiest solution.

Looks close enough to real JDM, but the red color is not quite as dark or 'deep'. I have a set of real JDM H's stashed away for someday tho :wink:


Shaving, shave. v. 1) Old school car customizing technique of removing exterior objects (e.g. emblems, handles, etc.), filling the remaining holes and/or reworking bodywork, and re-painting to form a seamless, smooth, or 'shaved', surface in it's place. As if the removed part had been shaved off. Origin (and I'm not making this up!): Imagine bare shaved female nether regions! :0


No, it's not typically 'easy'. Basically repainting the entire panel. Holes need to be filled via metal work (e.g. welding), not just bondo.

haha, he is been sarcastic, as in they would get shocked if they touch it...Doh

To shave it the holes need to be filled, it can be done with bondo but not recommended as it tends to sag and crack.

 

Personally it's not about the badge been stolen, But the damage the ***** with the screw driver does to the car.

 

better to get debadged than getting the whole car stolen.

 

shave

 

#24,.... shave badges

 

i had my badges stolen within the first couple weeks of owning my R. the theives used a sharp edge of some sort and severely damaged the paint around the area. i had the shop repair the damage and fill the holes to give it the "shaved" look. Had no worries since...although i miss the look of the R with the badges on

 

put ford fucus badges on it!
