i know you don't care, but OEM ones look way better. The finish of the aftermarket ones are no consistent. Just drop the money on OEM ones and you'll be happy.

You just gotta be a true Fit Freak.

As stated before the replicas can fall apart and arent of the same qaulity. The real badges have been shipped from Honda japan and the cost of shipping them over seas is a playing part. Also they run up the prices on these JDM parts because people want real JDM and they will pay for it. If you want replica's go for it no one is stopping you.

But remember it still aint the real thing and you mite run into some future problems with them holding up.

This, you gotta pay to play the game. Honestly most aftermarket stuff that is replicating an OEM part is complete shit.

Distinctive Car Badge - I mine.

As far as value, for an OEM, or any badge, they are top notch. Solid resin piece. Worth the price if you're willing to pay - these are worth the price.

I've always been a fan of car badges and emblems. Great collectibles.

Not often a good replacement for a vehicle emblem comes along. To me, this one makes perfect sense.

gd3vbp Ciggy make the point - I'll reinforce the value.

So do we still need to buy the Ep3 civic type R for the front and Intergra (rsxR) for the rear?

lol the only reason the emblems are selling at these high prices is because folks will pay. As far as shipping, sorry not buying it. There's no way shipping adds $50. As far as replicas I have had non OEM H badges on my Integra for over 6 years...not a single problem yet and I've had them removed twice for re-painting I paid $40 for the set.

All I'm saying is if we all came together and stopped paying ridiculous prices for JDM parts I guarantee prices would come down. I know some JDM parts will stay high just due to supply and demand but emblems? Honda hasn't stopped making them and there's plenty so why the inflated price????
