Default Paint your stock emblem red?

Anyone painted their stock emblem red? I think with NHBP, it'd have a really stealthy look. Just a thought.

Is it? I think the red H emblems are nice.. but 80ish for the front and 40ish for the rear.. I think that's just plain dumb. $120 for a set of emblems.. I would rather just do the whole tape thing like a guy on the 8th did, which looks just as good, for less than $5.

That's so ugly that people who jack emblems would pass on your car.

exactly, you don't want to lose your 100 bucks emblem. With this, nobody would steal it. It's the whole point of saving yourself some cash. You have to admit, it's not half as bad as paint the emblem. It looks ok imo.

As for how the tape thing goes, it's like cut a square red tape and put it between your emblem and the grill. Screw it on, done. For the back, same thing, unclip the emblem, put in square of tape, clip it back on.

I don't know about the whole "JDM" emblem thing just because our Si's are not JDM.
