Rep Power: 297 i think that it would look better if you patinted it black. that way you would have contrast in the H and the grill and still have it match your hood.

Rep Power: 252 I seen this in a parking lot yesterday, it looked stupid. I like it much more when there's contrast and a little bling that catches the eye. If you want something better, get another grille, cut a section of honeycomb out of it, cut the H out of your grille and use some plastic weld to put the section of honeycomb into your grille so it looks factory with no emblem. Then paint it flat black, we did this with my friend's Focus. Turned out real clean.

Rep Power: 301 paint it with a Duplicolor paint that matches the OEM civic color, and clearcoat it. then do your rear H as well...i did it, then i got the Red H emblem, that looks the best..imo, but pricewise isnt!
