Clear side markers will look clean on Berlina, will match the headlights for sure, especially if you have an AP2. I would have also considered smoked side markers if I was rockin Berlina!

I do have an AP2. I'm hoping all this will look clean. I didnt get the smoked side markers although I kind of wished I did. Oh well. I think the clears will look good too. I'm just going for an all around clean look

sounds good. I cant wait for them to come. I also got the jdm side marker lights. I hope they look good as well
I bought the same parts for my '06 AP2, I think they'll look awesome.

Hey, has anyone else installed the Steering Wheel Badge on an '06? Rick's instructions say to just "peel and stick" basically, except on my wheel the "H" is embossed (for lack of a better word) into the wheel. If I peel and stick, it will only be attaching to the "H". That doesn't seem like much contact area for it. Did the '06 wheel change, or am I missing something? Here is what my wheel looks like:



The "H" is clearly not painted on.

This is not my car, but the clears look the same because we have the same colors. Hope it helps.

I just saw a White S2000 with the Ricks badges on them. Looks amazing. So thin and it seems to go with the car. Can you guys post more variants of the badges on berlinas?

Thinking about the Red S on black badge. If not this one, then my other choice would be the Silver S on black badge. Can we see some front shots too? The ones posted are only the rear shots.

Thanks.

I just received my badges from Ricks last night. I havent had time to put them on yet but I do have a berlina s2k. I purchased the Silver S on black and I also bought the wheel badges (Black S on sebring silver). Once I get them on I'll take some pics.

^ can't wait to check them out. Let me know how much effort it took you to install them. I'm looking to get some soon.

Speaking of Rick's badges -
the instructions say the adhesive cures better above 70 degrees F.
Has anybody put them on in cold weather, and if so, how did the job turn out?
I could wait until spring/summer, but I want them now...
Just carefully pop the wheel caps off with a screwdriver and do them inside. It's a lot easier to get them lined up perfectly when you're doing them level at a table anyway. For the body badges just do as was previously mentioned. Grab a hair dryer and heat the cleaned surface up and pull the badges out of your shirt pocket where they've been staying warm and you'll be set. FWIW, I have the silverstone S on black badges all around my Berlina and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think the '04-05 wheels look much better with a contrasting hub to break up the large solid center a little. Just makes the wheels look more balanced and proportioned with the thin spokes. On a Berlina the black hubs tie the wheels in with the paint as well and makes a good combination.
