Yasou file!!!

As mentioned the part # are
Front Type-R badge, P/N 75700-SNW-003
Rear Type-R badge, P/N 75700-S5T-E01
from this thread ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ts-thread.html

the type-R badges look real good, too bad they are quite pricey, and are targets for theft...

FitHellas, could you post some pics of your car, specifically the seat arrangements of "refresh" & "long" mode. Euxaristo!

The emblems are purely for looks, and they usually do a good job of it. Are they worth it for the piece of plastic? Probably not. But are they worth it in terms of the final product on your fit? That's for you to decide. I originally thought the same when I first found out the price....but then I realized that I look at my car on a daily basis, and love the look of the red on my TW Fit, so in retrospect 100 bucks isn't that much for the satisfaction I get

don't get me wrong do what makes you happy but I would just buy some knockoffs for $40/set vs. spending $100.

This seems like an appropriate thread to ask this question:

Do any of you know what the manufacturer installed front and back Honda and Fit emblems are made out of? If not can anyone point me to where I might find out?

Like I am specifically trying to know if are they chrome plated plastic, or some metal with a chrome plated finish, plastic with a silver colored paint, or some other combination.

I'm not a Fit owner (yet...) so I can't easily investigate this myself.

Hmmm to think about it, you won't have to slow down as much in corners so you won't have to apply as much gas to get back up to speed... increasing fuel efficiency. And the tints... they'll keep the sun out so you don't need to use the A/C as much... another economy saver...

Cab I tried to bring my car to the doctor to ask him about this claim but they would'nt let me even get my car in the lobby...
