Default Red H emblem on EP3 hood?

Is anyone rocking a red H badge on the hood of their EP3? I ask because a while back i purchased an OEM style honeycomb grill. There is no platform/space to mount a red h badge on the grill so i was thinking of getting red H emblem and placing it on the hood of the EP3. I think it will look pretty nice. See photos below for reference:


*OEM style EP3 grill i have on my car.

Integra:


Prelude:


Heres an EP3 for reference:


*Now for those who have done it, which JDM red H will i need? One for the Integra, Prelude, etc. I know they are a universal item but im thinking about the curvature of the EP3's hood...i wanna make sure the emblem will sit flush. As you can see in the photo of the Integra...its hood is curved yet the emblem still sits nice and flat. Maybe ill need an Integra emblem? Input needed, thanks.

I don't know... I'm not feeling it too much on the hood. The grill is to big to be empty unless its the Mugen one!

yeah itd seem weird to have an empty grill and a H on the hood

the teggy and prelude looks right because the grill is so small
just my opinion

im rocking stock chrome H on my ep3

i dont see the need to get red H
just adds unwanted attention to my car to be stolen

I think it's kinda cool, definitely unique. Can't say that I've ever seen someone try it on an EP before.

Do what makes you happy man, it's your car.

True its original... maybe with a smaller H instead of the big one the EP3 has it would look good.
