Why is this in the tech forum? Shouldn't this be in the Integra forum, or better yet, the Appearance/Cosmetic forum?

Anyway I'll be nice and answer the question: use 92-95 Civic front hood emblems for both the front and the rear. This is mainly because the size of the emblem is pretty close to the size of the original A emblems, so it looks correct.

The pins will fit the Integra front bumper perfectly, but it may be loose. I cut very thin strips of 3M emblem tape and it stayed in place for years. For the rear, the pins don't fit. So I just shaved the pins off, cut more thin, narrow strips of 3M emblem tape, and just stuck it in place. Don't worry about it coming off. Mine stayed in place for nearly 3 years before I got all the emblem holes shaved and filled in.

3M emblem tape is a very thin, double-sided foam tape (thinner than the normal white foam tape), so you really can't see it all between the emblem and the body.

thanks..but what about the "h" emblems that the website shopresponse.com have for dc's? would those work good or would the eg "h" work better?
