WARNING - Cosmetic Post.

I was rear ended a month ago. I rolled forward and then hit the person infront of me. The car was a writeoff, but after a little fighting we decided to fix it. I worked out a nice deal with my body man to put on a Jap front and repaint the whole car Champ white (naturally). Question I have for you guys is well actually I just want an opinion. Here are the 4 options.

#1. Completely clean - no decals, stickers etc.
#2. Hondafy the whole car. i.e. Honda Badges etc
#3. Acura badges
#4. Just Honda badges - no stickers.

I'm leaning towards option #4, but I want to hear an opinion from you guys. Or if you have any other opinions...

I've done #2 but as Im getting older I really don't see the point. I would put the A badges back on.

IMO, I think it looks a lot 'cleaner' with all the emblems shaved with the ITR stickers still on the car.

I didn't even think about that. If you have the JDM front then it would be better to "Hondafy" it.

i'd say hondify it, or something, but don't lose the R stickers on the side, for some reason, if its painted in CW or PY, it just looks off without it.

Option #4: Hondafy it with red honda emblems on the front and rear and a "Honda" emblem on the rear hatch as well.

Re: WARNING - Cosmetic Post. (type_r_jon)

MMM so Honda badges for sure, and you guys seem divided about the stickers. Are there any differences between the JDM R stickers and the USDM?

Re: WARNING - Cosmetic Post. (type_r_jon)

I would go with stickers and just the rear honda emblem. I have a jdm front and I plan on getting the whole car repainted and just shaving the front emblem. At first I was going to go with both emblems until I saw this thread. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1672339

LOL. In a way this accident was not so bad. For 1850 CAD I'm got the JMD front end , and the whole car repainted (including the rims). I will post pics when I get it back. Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going with Honda badge on the back, all stickers and no "H" on the front. Thanks Spids5, that post is pretty sick.

I may have to sell the car

BTW. I will post link to for sale section when I get it back.
