Hey, i ordered 2 blue ones from him and they look tyte - he suggested me buying 2 in case i messed up on the first one, and for sure i did mess up on the first one
just a question tho to those who have applied it - can we use water or son of a gun to clean our steering wheel now or will it peel off

lol...
go to a sign shop and tell them you want one for 50 cents.
they will laugh at you.
you cannot just radomly cut out an H and hope it fits.
yes, that amount of material may cost very little but the amount of time that goes into measuring, taking digital pictures, photoshopping, plotting, etc is not cheap.
my father owns a sign company, and yes, even I have to pay him for his time & materials.

you're right, i'm making millions off you guys!

The factory H isn't the same. I wouldn't think it would fit but maybe Adam can figure something out.

I know you have only red and blue decals now, but any chance of white in the future?

to answer a couple questions:

no it wont fit any other emblem other than the one on your steering wheel.

nothing is impossible, but i'd need at least a dozen orders to make a new color available, otherwise its not worth the time/effort for my father.
case in point:
had a few offers asking for blue, so i had a bunch cut out, and i've only sold them to maybe 3-4 people.
if blue isnt selling, i'm sure white, orange, green, and pink sure won't.
sorry.

I got this from him on EPhtach.com.

Looks decent and is a far cry from over a $1000 to get a real one.

yes you can but be prepared to spend about 700.00 for the SI steering wheel . Hondawerx used to carry them but since no one buys them he doesnt have any in stock. I was gonna get one but decided to spend it on other things more productive. But to answer the question, yea itll fit no problem

Great, so whenever I have $700 to just waste then I will think of a steering wheel.

comes in red/white/blue

the question is: "how expensive would carbon fiber be?" lol
i could probably do it, but it would be the real stuff (no "look")
would probably cost almost twice as much though.

yea some black shows thru because this was made for the 02+ Civic Si specifically, it fits EXACT on that car, and most 03' Hondas.

if my father ever gets some free time, i may be able to have them made to fit the regular 01+ civic EXACT, but i dont have a regular civic, so someone local (NJ) would have to volunteer their car for measurement.

I got mine for $350.
Hey, if you make a gunmetal decal, I'm down.
I hate the factory red, it's getting on my nerves.
BTW for the people who don't know, I have the JDM DC5-R steering wheel.
No cruise control though.

ARe you sure the site is called ephtach.com because it won't pull up, can you buy the decal anywhere or only from this site (EPhtach.com)
