Si grill on R18. what to do about the Si emblem area..?

jbsali · 06-25-2009, 07:04 AM

I took off the si badge but what do i do about the mount? i guess i could cut it off but it wont be flush after taking it off as it would divet in. should i make a piece to fit into the mount and put a different emblem overtop? the only thing i could think of for and emblem would be mugen but yeah, its not lol. what do you guys think?

..lol

I have the same problem brother, i know people have put the civic badge from their trunk there. I was going to paint mine red to match my JDM emblems.

Just for reference

jbsali · 06-25-2009, 03:15 PM

i would never do that "civic" thing. i was thinking about getting a retro honda badge and putting it in. i'll take a look online and see if i can find it.

edit: This is the one im talking about

only picture i could find

If i were to pick one of those, it'd be the first. The second one just looks extremely cheap to me for some reason.

i'm sorry but you don't want a si emblem but you want a mugen badge? either way your putting a badge that doesn't belong on the car. either leave it empty or maybe a R18 badge. here's my old car with the tap cut off

if you were looking for it you could tell but if you didn't know you couldn't see.

My5tiC4L · 06-25-2009, 06:19 PM

Leave it plain. No emblem.

civicmarc · 06-25-2009, 06:20 PM

keep the si emblem.

adamway · 06-25-2009, 06:23 PM

Get an R18 badge made.

jbsali · 06-25-2009, 06:58 PM

id cut it off if someone had a closup pic.

JeShUa · 06-25-2009, 07:07 PM

I shaved / painted mine.

OP: no Mugen or Si emblems would be appropriate IMHO, so either shave it off or put something custom made. Or leave your LX/EX grille and have it painted.

jdm free · 06-25-2009, 07:15 PM

shave it. thats what i did on mine. easy as hell.

well yeah it looks easy BUT does it look good? i need a closeup to determine

djpaw · 06-25-2009, 08:19 PM

I shaved it off, used spot putty, sanded it, painted it flat black.

jbsali · 06-25-2009, 08:23 PM

thanks for the closeup.

***J-Ro*** · 06-25-2009, 08:24 PM

djpaw, did you follow my DIY? The pics are almost identical

Here's mine in TW... removed the Si emblem, cut off the mount, sanded/Bondo-ed as required and primer/paint/cleared black. Much better

**GETxERxDONE** · 06-25-2009, 08:26 PM

shaved mine, used some quik steel putty (same stuff like mighty putty) sanded it and gave it to the body shop to paint it when i was getting the car fixed.
