what's up everyone?
i'm a newbie Honda owner of a 2008 Civic Si, and a newbie to the board (glad i found it though)....my issue is regarding the red "h" emblems floating around on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...63010

are these a direct oem fitment? i know that they're originally designed for the Jap Type-R...but, what would it take to fit my ride?? supposedly they have a couple prongs on the back that need to be removed...
but, i read that in some cases this isn't necessary....any help would be appreciated before i go dropping the loot on these (even though they're quite bad-*** whether they end up on my ride or not)

 

i guess no one in here cares yo help us "Newibes" of the board out.....

 

Try http://www.passwordjdm.com under 06+ civic parts

[There's the search link on the upper right hand corner. Its the same color as the badges you want. There are threads discussing this you can find from this tool.]

i guess you dont know how to use the big red search button

 

got mine from this guy
its the real deal and comes from Japan

http://motors.shop.ebay.com/me...1kkjh

much luck

 

its real badging if it has an official honda part number and label on it with padded packaging. the first link looks fake

 

Buy from this guy he's in Japan and selling real parts! I have already bought some other items and it's real!

I don't remeber exactly, but I believe the front emblem is smaller than USDM, and the prongs do not line-up.

 

Rear emblem is smaller....

 

You need to remove the prongs. It's always been that way even when I had a 92 Integra GSR you needed to remove the prongs.

 

if you dont pay upwards of 80 bucks for the front one then its not legit. purchase through http://www.passwordjdm.com or another reputable online site. ebay ftl.

 

who has a Type R? cuz thats where they belong on type Rs

 

if u want to be sure they are real , spend a little more and order them from your local honda dealer or king motor sports

 

since when can you order these through your local honda dealer? i know we cant at my dealership.

 

my dealer actually stocks them sometimes, but u can order anything u want from honda of japan

 

I've heard of that in Canada. Not so much in the states though.

 

well not ANYTHING. im sure they wont order u front clips or anything like that but u can order jdm accessories as well as motors.

 

Well, I happen to work for Honda and I've never heard of anyone being able to order anything from Honda of Japan thru their local dealership. It's most likely that the dealer you are purchasing from is buying from some vendor here in the states, not directly from Honda of Japan. It's just not done that way if it was I would of been one of the first to order everything I could get my hands on along with everyother tuner out there.

 

well, thanks again for all of the input guys....i wasn't really concerned about how or where to get the emblems....i'm more conecerned about how they would fit on our USDM grills/trunk lids.....b/c i plan on replacing my stock grill with this one here

I dont know which car it came off of but my front lines up just fine prongs and all, my rear is off of a DC5 ITR and is smaller then factory and I had to clip the prongs.

 

I would assum there going to fit just fine. Nice looking grill by the way.

 

I find out that it's real when seeing the Emblem back.
