You wont see this thread getting much attention because everyone and their "mama's" have put red emblems on their cars...and hate to admit its a misrepresentation. The majority of the people with Red H's on this site I think would pipe up on how any individual with a Type R logo on thier NON Type R car is a huge rice ball....not realizing themselves that the red H means the same thing.

The first Honda to ever sport the Red H was Honda's F-1 car. Shortly afterwards when the NSX-R was introduced, so too was the red H on their production cars. There after, all Type R's were noted for having Red H badging to signify Honda's racing heritage, and the legendary championship white colour, found on Honda's first ever F-1 Car.

I completely agree with OP in regards to the Red H, however I also understand everyone has their own tastes. What irks me is when people comment on other people's choice of badging....as if having a Red H is LESS of a misrepresentation than a type R sticker. Both are stupid to the purist.
