i-VTEC and RS emblems overkill?

Would it be overkill to put both and have 3 emblems on the back?

FIT emblem is on left(stock position) then the RS across on the right. Where would the i-VTEC emblem go?

The i-VTEC emblem goes below the RS emblem near the bottom.

Really depends on what you feel looks good.....personally I think the Fit and RS emblem are the best combination because you have stuff on either side, so it looks balanced, and the emblems themselves doesn't make it look too busy. At the same time, no emblem at all would look pretty nice too, since the shaved look is nice for the small car. Those are my 2 thoughts though . Of course the shaved look is a lot cheaper too!

Yes, I think it would look too busy. You should make a poll and see what people think.

There is no option for just the ivtec badge which i think would look nice. Personally i would only do one or the other.

personal opinion... it might be overkill and kind of tacky... i took the fit emblem off the back and put vtec decals on the side doors. i don't like it when the back of cars are so busy with stuff. if you balance the back out with the fit emblem and the rs emblem that would look good... the i-vtec emblem on the back might be too much.

but just so you know putting these vtec decals and emblems get a pretty bad rap on here


i'm not adding anything else to my car because i feel it would be too much

I dont mind other guys cars with emblems, it can look good.
I have debadged every car I have owned since the 90,s.
Havent done this Fit yet, probably will.
Why do I debadge? partly cuz I hate to polish and detail around them, it is a big time saver over the years to not have them. + the cleaner look is IMHO better especially on a small car

I changed my Fit emblem to the JDM emblem with the red dot, and went with the RS emblem on the right side... the more I think and look at it, the more I think that the RS emblem has to go. It's not an RS, and I like the cleaner look with only one badge.

I generally take them all off, but each car is different. Not a big fan of the side stickers either... just clutters up the clean lines on the side of the car.

Less is more. Stock is best. Don't add any emblems, stickers, etc. We know your car is a Fit. Putting an RS badge on a Fit there is like an putting a Type-R badge on an Integra. Just my opinion...

It's your car. You shouldn't care what other people think. Do what you like. Life is too short to live for what other people think.

ive always liked when people put the i-vtec decal in front of the rear tires on pretty much any honda. but then again, on my integra i'm running it completely badgeless, even without the A on it, so i guess it depends on the car.

+1.....these are very profound words! What floats your Airbus on the Hudson, may be different than what floats my Airbus.
