GEEZE! Monday? Where do you live (I know, Charlotte, NC)? My FEDEX guy delivers Mon-Fri, even to East Bum F**K, New Mexico! I guess I could live in worse places

I don't understand it. The badges are here in Concord. They put them on the truck yesterday to deliver them. Did not get around to it so now they tell me Monday. I called Fedex and they said they have until then to deliver however time permitting they might bring them today. George

Update, the badges have arrived. I am not sure however that most people will like them. I have seen Ricks badges on both the yellow and silver and thought they were excellent. That is not the case with the blue. They are not even a close match in color. It is a much brighter and deeper blue and looks very aftermarket on the car.
The Honda badges came cleanly off the car and I might put them back on. Any suggestions on glue to use if I go that route. Should I pull Ricks badges now before the glue really sets up or wait? I would like to wait and see if they grow on me and how they look in different lighting however if they will be impossible to get off in a few days I don't want to wait.

George, they are different in shading, but I think that makes them stand out, otherwise the effect would be rather bland and not very noticeable from other cars etc. I think that the color match strangely enough is good. The badges just appear brighter, probably due to the materials used.
Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone at ricks for great customer service to back up their products. I waited along time for my xbrace and these badges but i was informed of progress all the time and got immediate answers to any concerns or questions I had. Thanks Guys

Ross

Well after going out and looking at them in the daylight i agree, they are darker, but i like them and i still believe this makes them have more needed presence.

I took the car out of the garage and looked at them in the sunlight and they are growing on me. You have a point about perhaps needind some contrast in the badges. I will see if they grow on me over the next few days. Now I need to talk my wife into the new Stereo!

The Suzuka blue badges are definitely a terrible match for the Sebring silver.
