Rear Red Badge.

never liked the look of JDM emblems. the H always looks way too hidden in what is only suppost to be a red background. so here's my own take on it. in red carbon fiber!

its was special ordered from TFB designs. Yea, its not a whole new badge its just inserts you stick between the "H" but it looks great! highly recommend TFB. those guys are awsome and go great lengths to get you what you want.

i was thinking about buying a set of these. too bad they only send you 1 set of the CF ones. was it difficult to install? i really like the CF, but i'm debating on whether or not to get the plain red since they give you 2 sets in case you mess up

don't get the carbon fiber vinyl stuff. it looks great but it doesn't hold up to the elements. mine was faded and gross looking midway throught the summer.

Just saw this thread, the carbon fiber looking one will fade real quick. Get the solid red for best results.

I ordered from this same guy, but I'm 99% certain these are counterfeit. What really clued me was there is a typo in the part number for the small badge 35114-SNW-J0I instead of 35114-SNW-J01. Even the J01 isn't right, that's apparently the red H key fob! Then if you look at real JDM badges there's more curvature in the cross-member in the H on the badge than these. These are straighter. Overall they look pretty good and were about half the price of real ones...

Are you sure it's not the keyfob? Or key cover, key back, or whatever you call it. That's a link to a Honda dealer! It's not the JDM badge part number that is for sure.

The last 1 on mine looked like a straight bar like a lower-case l or capital I depending on your font. The previous 1's had the bar across the bottom and angle part on the top.

I'm going to take pics of it all and post a thread about it. Meanwhile the seller said he'd refund me when I send it in.
