Never thought of that. I always associated painted the mesh with being more subtle than anything, because I've always imagined it with my EBP color. I never though about bright colors like white or silver doing that. Then again, painting *just* the mesh doesn't sit well with me trying to envision it.. it doesn't come off as clean as the opposite when I try and envision it.
It'd be interesting to see.

I'd have to see it on a silver or white car to get the adequate effect. Doing that with a NHBP, EBP, or CGP car would be too subtle, IMO.

So I finally got my H emblems in the mail today. Not gonna lie, the rear emblem did not fit at all. I had to take off the white pins that were in the hole for it to fit. Thankfully enough, it was a good fit without the pins. Didnt need to mod or cut pieces of the emblems. Here are some pics. I'm still contemplating on whether or not I want an emble on the front of my car(help would be appreciated if it looks good or not)

Leave the front badge-less. Just my opinion.

It looks good! Keep the front one OFF. I would buy them but I think I've decided just to paint them black for now but I might change it come spring. How's the quality of them. Do they feel well built or cheap plastic?

Lol, the OEM ones feel like hella cheap plastic..

They are all cheap plastic :P

But yeah, you have to push out the white pins from the inside of the trunk for those emblems to fit

Keep front clean

THe whole car is cheap plastic. Get over it. It ain't no Ferrari.

Not all of it is cheap plastic.. there's some cheap metal on there...

 
Rep Power: 291

its not called "cheap metal", its called "sheet metal"

Damn everyone voted against putting the emblem on the front. Sorry guys but I got a wee bit impulsive and stuck it on 5 minutes after I posted my earlier post ahaha. BTW Rice, do you have a filipino decal on your car somewhere? I've been meaning to get one. Thanks

Yeah Im kind of diggin the front badge. For now anyway. I know I'll end up taking it after awhile.

I have a Filipino soshinoya-style badge suction cupped to te inside of my windshield in the lower driver side corner and a Filipino sun decal on the back of my wink mirror.

i bought one similar to that first website's and the rear one has a + shaped peg so you have to file those edges down a little so it will fit into your circular slot on you trunk. Also after a few months it gets sun damaged on the outside a little and the red faded. not even worth the money, i got mine on ebay tho for cheaper but the ones on that drift gear site look identical. I'm just gonna get the good expensive one. it's like $40 :/

The OEM ones are over $100, but in my opinion its well worth the price since they're such a focal point on the car.

 
Rep Power: 291

They're also a focal point of being stolen

Honestly, I spent $5 on my Carbon Fiber emblem and it looks clean as F$&%

It uses some kind of soft silicone so it wouldnt fade like clear plastic

Which is why mine is epoxied in place, they'll need to steal the whole grill/trunk lid to get mine.

ahahaha thats awesome. totally true. I super glued some weather stripping on the back of mine (I only put the rear one on) that way I could easily remove it cause I had a feeling it was going to go to crap pretty fast.
