Default Red honda badge

Hey guys.

I was just wondering what yalls opinion is on the red honda badges. Think they are cool and look good? or is the s-badge better? etc...
I want to put them on my car but they are about $80 and I am trying to find them for cheaper.

Why does what I think matter? Go with what you like. Better is always highly subjective.

i like the red badge. i have them on my GPW and i think they match well since the red leather. they are $50 on h and a. you have to look in the ap1 section of the site

i got them 1.5 months ago and if iirc he had a couple left, good luck!

If you're asking for opinions, leave the badges alone or shave them if you're not matching the body color. Just my $.02.

I have a set of red badges.

Looked great on my Silverstone. I have a Suzuka now, not sure how they'll look on that. They've been put away for years; never thought of it until now! Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I have a set on my AP2 GPW and love them. Had them about 4 years and they are still perfect (genuine Honda).

What I cannot find is the red H badge for the steering wheel- sure there are stickers on bay, but I want a legit emblem.

Its your car so do what you like, but personally the red badge signifies the Type-R heritage. S2k has no Type-R variants. Then again, every civic has a red badge too.

exactly what i was thinking. the "S" is cheap looking to me.

this also. i like the red badge a lot, but its almost as bad as a BMW 330 with an "M" badge. i still think i might do it since its not like a "standard s2000" imitating a "type r s2000" since the "type r" doesnt exist.



also, somewhat off-topic, is the OEM red badge from another honda? if not, why did honda make a type r badge for a car that doesnt have a type r? or is the red just a jdm thing? or... is the red just an NFR color matched badge?
