would this be too RICE?

Whats up everyone.. I have an altezza style grille on my car right now but it's way too plain. I want to put an emblem on it but I dont want to put a stock honda one. I found a sweet Type R Civic emblem but my car is not a type R. So should I put it on because it looks good or no because it is not a real type R. I dont want to look like a clown ya know? Be honest.. Flame away if you must. But give an answer please. Later

In the terms of the word "rice"- YES!

It's your call though homie, do what you must.

IMO I would not do it, because I think it's rice... I don't put any sticker of any brand that I don't have... The only badge I would have on my car is, Civic or Honda.

honest opinion is that the altezza grill with the stock H put on it (used double sided taped) looks the best, i had the altezza plain for awhile and it looked dull but once i put the "H" on it spiced it up and now i love it...

I say don't put something on your car that you can't back up.

You know, all you people that are on a Joan of Arc trip. trying to sound all whatever you're trying to sound like.
He asked for people's OPINION. so whatever we decide to say about a ricey a$$ badge is game, why?? because it's OUR OPINION.

So there you have it MagicRacing18, the verdict is out..........[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] Type R Badge.

IMO a type-R badge on that grill would look pretty cool, except that as they all said - you don't have much to back it up.

how about a red honda "H"? that'd look nice too.

Originally I would have said to go with the Type R emblem, but now that I'm starting to learn about the do's and don’ts on our Civics, I say go with a red Honda "H". At least you do have the Honda to back it up.

Well, here's the final thought on my behalf. For the altezza grille I decided to take the (civic) that was on the left of the trunk and do a nice paint job on it in red and put it offset to the drivers side on the girlle. as for the back I have decided to order a red honda H and put it on the back (trunk) in replace of the stock H there. And where to civic used to be on the trunk I may leave it with nothing there or get a Spoon Sports badge to put there. Thanks for all the thoughts and opinions.. some of the stuff was damn funny too. Off to the bar [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] talk to you all when i get back [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
