Default v-tec badge scandal!

so im washing my car today and i see a little white outline on the back. i wonder what it is and then i realize my badge has been jacked. needless to say i was infuriated, not necessarily because i didnt have a badge anymore but just because someone was a big enough ******* to steal it during the day in the one hour i was at school. its the principle. how moch does a new one cost? any cheap used ones? if my car didnt come with it i never would have cared. this post is already too long and pointless.

but the dealer sells them OEM for under $20

If mine got jacked I wouldn't even replace it. Just lessens the chance of your car getting stolen.

It looks better off. Mine was jacked as well, but I know what you mean. It's the principle...

it's about 20 bucks and 30 dollars for the special edition sticker.

i was stupid and bought another one when mine got jacked, only to have it stolen 2 weeks later. pissed me off. so i went to the junkyard and picked one off the back of a junked integra with the VTEC badge on it, and glued magnets to the back. now, my vtec sign is a refrigerator magnet, and it shouldn't get stolen there...

everybody else is right, now... you should just leave it off.. unfortunately, it will probably get stolen again...

Lol...I forget my sticker is on there. But get this, my sticker was stolen at the dealership!

They got me a new one of course. I was laughing though. Just leave it off. Vtec doesn't really strike fear into the cars now a days.

i hear your anger, when mine was stolen (2-3 weeks after buying the car) i was pissed! but i didn't feel like spending the 15-20 bucks for another one so i left it off. I was also lucky because they left no trace of it.

Even if you leave it off it will be easy to tell if it's a GSR or not!
