i got an aftermarket red emblem for the back and it looks really nice with my red tail lights, but should I get one for the front too? The front has to be official JDM ones in order to fit, but would it look tacky on a black car? I was thinking of removing the amber signals and putting in red ones to match the theme of the front and back a little better - instead of a panda, I'll have like black widow, kinda..
so your thoughts please... red on back...

here are my emblems with the aftermarket non JDM one, looks pretty close to the real JDM ones, until you touch it...

change the emblems but keep the amber turn signal, red a little rice

 

btw you should black out the headlights.

 

Where are you geting your emblems from? are they jdm ep3 emblems? iv been looking for some red emblems that will fit but havent found any yet that i know will fit for sure.

 

ya im trying to do all the research i can before i begin but i'm not very handy-wish someone can do it for me...

i just bought an after market one for the back but didnt buy the front yet. I'll have to bring in my front chrome to see if any is available... and im getting mine at super autobacs in stanton, CA - pretty sure they are official JDM ones as they are 40 bucks plus - and i dont know for sure if they'll fit...

Would the red emblem match with the amber lights? i mean the back of my car looks great but the front might stand out a little bit without any redness.

should i buy a real JDM emblem for the back or can I just keep the aftermarket one that i have pictured? can you notice from a distance and laugh at me from behind?

 

this is an aftermarket one, can you tell that its not a 40 dollar JDM one?

Actually, yes. Ever seen one in real life?

 

ya ur right, so to save my safe from the embarassment of getting laughed at by JDM gangsters I bought a real one and it does look 100 times better and matches with my lights even more. I wasnt thinking clearly when i bought the lame aftermarket due to hunger and cheapassness.
so should I shave the civic emblem off or put it under the license frame?
or bumper?

Personally, I wouldn't remove/relocate the Civic emblem. I don't see the point in it.

 

hey vermont, i had to do some custom modding of the emblems for them to fit my 01 coupe. The front emblem is actually a back emblem so I had to cut off the **** and glue them into different places. The back wouldnt fit at all so I just had to cut them off. The back is a tad bit smaller compared to the factory OEM but still good.




heres a fake one comapred to a real one. the fake one is pretty identical to the factory OEM size so the one i got is a slightly smaller but the next size up would be too big for the back so this is perfect IMO.
