Default Rick's Radiator Badge as a Steering Wheel Badge?

I've read on here that some people are using Rick's radiator S badge on their steering wheel instead of his Steering Wheel badge. Is this even possible? If so, How do I do it, and does anyone have any pics? Thanks guys!

From what I understand, some think it's too big.

The radiator cap badge will not conform well to the dome shape of the aluminum Honda badge in the center of the wheel. In other words, unless you have some extraordinary installation skills or a high tolerance for imperfection, the poor fit will bedevil you. I know -- I tried it myself and it drove me crazy.

I also tried and yes it drove me crazy. I also tried to remove the H from the wheel to see what was under there. Don't

What if I buy the steering wheel badge, and for some reason I put it on crooked or I don't like it. Am I stuck/screwed? I know that it costs like $500 for a new steering wheel cover. Would the contact cment come off fully? Please let me know.

If you mess up, no damage of any kind is done and the contact cement comes off quite easily.

i have been involved in some of those posts... folks have thought that the wheel badges should fit the steering wheel- they are too big.
the steering wheel badge fits perfectly-
i had a wheel badge on my steering wheel (because it was better than the "H", imo, even too big) until the steering wheel badge came out- so this is something that i am certain of!
get the steering wheel badge and you will see...
