Don't make me do another Photoshop job to convince you, lol.
Well that's the problem! I can't make up my mind. I emailed my parts department to ask about pricing and availability. Maybe that will make up my mind for me. I DID just spend another $60 on that OEM locking fuel cap...

I've seen a few cars around here totally debadged. I don't know, they kind of look naughtily naked... Still really liking that 1st generation blue dot look.

Actually, I think the orange makes for a good contrast for the blue dot so it pops out more. It IS the reason she is considering changing the logo after all.

Well I'm an alumni of Laurentian University whose colors, you guessed it, are orange and blue! Kind of looks like it was meant to be hey?

After tacking on my red RS badge, I'm glad I did because looking at the Fits without and RS badge they look cheaper, no offense to anyone. The same may ring true for you if you get the blue dot logo. The blue dot will stand out and add character to the back of your car.

I think your decision has been made>

Hmm... RS badge? Don't recall seing a picture of your car with that on it. Will have to check. And NO, I'm not going to put badges/decals/logos all over my car! I think I'll be quite happy with my blue dot. Well, I haven't abandoned hope on the Pufferfit decal so we'll see...

It (both the car and the badge) looks way better in person. Especially if you see the badge close up. It's very metallic and the entire badge is coated clear on top, so if you run your fingers over the badge you don't feel the R or S...just smooth.

Oh, it stands for "Road Sailing", and it's the Japanese equivalent to our "Sport" model here. That's all. They have the RS badge on their Sports over there in Japan.

Oh, ok. Is there any end to the modifications that can be done to this car? No wonder I'm so indecisive.
