Badge Opinions

[DarrenG]

With my car in the body shop for repairs due to a rogue tree, I decided to have the rear emblem pulled, hole filled and repainted. Ideally I would like to replace the front grille as well to get rid of that emblem too but with grille options limited, should I just go with the JDM Badge to replace the front chrome and strip everything else? "Civic" is already gone and "Si" front and rear is next to go along with the rear "H"... Opinions?

I think badges should be limited but not to the point of nothing. Yes it looks dumb if you have badges and decals all over the place, but it also looks too empty from the front or back if there's nothing. Something like the H on the front and back would be enough.

I'd leave the H's on, but lose the civic and Si badges. If you're one of those kids who got an Si thinking it's a sports car, then leave the Si on so you can still feel cool.

that's the thing though a) I'm not a kid b) if people aren't educated enough about cars to know it's an Si without a label staring them in the face then oh well. Personally I don't want any badges at all because I just love a clean look and I especially love my FBP paint. The trunk H is as good as gone I was wondering more about opinions on whether the JDM front badge alone would look funny. I guess if it does the rear badge is just an applique and can be added whenever. This decision would be so much easier if they would just develop a nice clean plain grille minus the H that isn't ricey. Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it.

I'm telling you man, either the front or the back looks like something is missing without anything there.
