Thanks. I'm not a fan of putting red "H" emblems on non-Type R Hondas.

I agree, but there are a lot of rides on here with them, and they do look cool. I don't think my personality backs it up though.

I agree. Right after I removed the "FIT" badge and took a few steps back, I noticed that it make the rear of the car look 100x better.

You're right it really does. I look at pics of my car after the debadge and the rear wiper arm stiffy and before the red badge and it's just sort of blahhhhhh Be sure to get the real deal if you go that route.

When it comes to buying parts, I always get the real deal. However, I'm probably not going to get the red "H" emblems. Just not my style.

I have debadged the crosstour but not the fit (will be doing it come spring). The reason when you look at a car's rear with no badges (make and model) your perception would be to the lines of the car (rear). When you look at one with a badge, your sight is always drawn to the badge instead of looking at the rear as a whole.

Do y'all know where that whole pink/blue thing came from? Converses. California. 1980s.

and what's wrong with those three things? And those colors actually came from not wanting to be like everyone else on the road. Originality ftw.

In response to chinkyy, go to home depot, the only spray can in that color. That are not many options when it comes to blue/turq. I was really limited on that color. Actually both. I wanted a more neon pink as well as blue, but i got what i could.

i don't think you can credit the existence of a 2-color scheme to that. it's just 2 colors. now if it was a combination of several colors, like 7 of them, then perhaps.

I don't know - it's obviously inadvertent, but pink and turquoise converses in the 80s, a different one on each foot, was a big enough fad as to be called iconic.

edit: found something on the web about it:

"Of all the 80s shoes, Converse were the most flexible. If you had two pairs, say a pink pair and an aqua pair, you could mix and match. Wear a pink one on your left foot and an aqua one on your right foot. If you had a best friend with a similar shoe size, you might even double match and swap."
