I thought that the red steering wheel emblem looked too much which is why I went with CF. Red hub decals are waiting to be put on.

I looked in the thread to convert your fit into a jdm spec, or whatever and saw the part # but no instructions as to exactly how to replace them, I promise i'm not an idiot lol but I don't see it.

I wasn't intending to call you an idiot, its my fault. I could have sworn it used to be stickied cuz I always saw it at the top, but I guess it was just bumped consistently cuz there was a wave of JDM emblem installations lawlz


But as I said earlier, a little searching doesn't hurt There is ton's of information already posted on this forum, all you have to do is click and type key words more than 3 letters

Yeah no problem but just remember to use the sites resources first otherwise it would be pointless to store information if no one is going to bother to search for it naw mean ;P

I was wondering if anyone would notice. These are not replacement emblems. I modified the originals without having to remove them. Cost <$1.00. For a price I will share the trick

Steering wheel emblem is from TFB and I also ordered the rear badge insert but was not sure how to deal with the recessed front badge. Messing around, I found that it was easy to slip thin gauge plastic sheet behind the chrome letters. To cut a long story short, found a red plastic "No Trespassing" sign at the local market cut out inserts slightly oversize and slid behind the H. Ended up not using the TFB insert as my method is easier and less prone to misalignment. Been on for almost a month through rain, snow, bugs, highway speeds, washing and polishing. If they ever need replacing, I still have what's left of the $1.00 sign to make new ones

Thanks. Silver looks good too. With this mod there is no limit to colors or designs. I may try carbon fiber in the future or camo might be fun.

Yea it took a couple of places to find the right silver. I had a lighter silver but didn't like the look. I have hopefully some carbon fiber overlays (fit freaker working on them) coming. It will cover up the chrome on the H. So we will see. If not I still like it with the silver and the chrome. I had to get TFB inserts for the back because I couldn't get the plastic to fit behind the curved emblem in the back. I was afraid I was going to break the emblem so I just ordered the inserts in SSM with my steering wheel inserts.

Yes, the rear badge was more difficult. I used a plastic spatula to hold the H away from the body while I slipped the inserts in.
