2pcs JDM Red Black Blue Front Rear Emblem Badge Sedan Coupe Honda Civic Fit | eBay

The badges on eBay are not listed as those, instead they are listed as 75700-SYY-003 (Front) and 75731-TFO-003 (Rear). I just searched google and I'm getting mixed results... From another thread https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ts-thread.html it appears that 75731-TFO-003 is the rear RS badge, and 75700-SYY-003 is unlisted. On the eBay page the correct badges are there, but listed for other vehicles. Very confusing, but I am still pretty sure that the badges I got were genuine.

Thank you!

Now wondering if the blue ones would look better than the red ones.

No problem, and if you think so, go for it! Not sure if they have genuine blue badges, but I could be wrong.

Placed an order for Pivot Compact ETC straight from Japan. TWpanson etc is dying and flaking out when I turn the car on. Figured it will cost about the same as the TWPanson unit.

Those aren't authentic JDM parts. its jdm_endless_auto btw.

I checked his listings of other emblems and the RS badge was the wrong color (its not red) and the other badges had are different colors such as blue/black which honda does not make. Also not to mention that the emblems themselves have "mirror warp"

Explained below:



But its your own car and at the end of the day if you are fine with it then their is no problem My steering wheel isn't real carbon fiber and I'm cool with it haha

I put the same tow hooks on mine last year. I had to order separate bolts for them as the ones they came with were way too long. Anyhow my red has faded away to a dull bronzy finish. I need to re-paint them.

Like the Tow decal.

Yeah I noticed how long that bolt is luckily I work at a factory so I got a bolt of my own and used that. But thanks man! Sucks that it fades because I really like that red

My driver's side fog light was busted out, so last night, my daughter and I installed a new one and added yellow bulbs at the same time.

I'm hoping it doesn't rain ALL weekend so I can install my Swift springs

I understand your point on trying to have as many OEM items as you can, thinking about product quality, lasting and your own satisfaction of knowing you got gold and not bronze; however, I think most of the people would just purchase it to have a red logo on it and I don't think you gonna get called out by your friends by some cheap emblems, unless of course you are part of a crew or you just want to have pristine stuff on your car.

I might end up getting the OEM ones just for my own satisfaction. I never have luck with any cheap or aftermarket stuff anyways. But your video is truly helpful for some out there to avoid getting scammed.

Just for certainty, the RS badge is not red stock, it is actually a sort of orange-red color.

I'm REALLY pleased with the results, overall it took me about 2 hours. I think I might be the first person to perform this mod on a base model.

Thanks for reading.
didn't see this until now.. looks nice on the base! it's so hard to get pictures of the sti lip in black.. sometimes walking to my car I think it's not there form far until I get closer lol

Been a long week for the Fit. Had the dealer replace the driveshaft and tie rods for my neverending death rattle on the passenger front. Got it back and it was still pretty much the same. (typical dealer story). Figured I didn't get a full wheel balance so did that today and got a high speed wheel balance. Took it for a test run. At first it still felt the same. Vibration while accelerating past 65 and when decelerating. Went home and decided to drive to Sonic to get some grub. Decided to gun it to 65. No rattle. All the way to 80 no rattle/vibrations. I hope that's the end of this. At least my driveshaft isnt leaking anymore either.

forgot to mention, replaced my thai carbon fiber mirror cover with a red mugen mirror cover i got used here.

TRS finally came thru and sent me my replacement XC controller. Now my halos/demoneyes are working again. Gonna work on a relay that will shut them off when the head lights come on and possibly another controller so that the demoneyes and halos work independent from each other. Right now they turn on with the parking lights and can but turned on and off with the RF remote. Thinking of wiring the demoneyes to the ignition so that its on when the car is on and turns off when the headlights are on. Then the halos to turn on with the parking lights and turn off with the headlights. Want these things to last more than a couple of months before i have to open up the headlights again. Failure rate on halos blow.

When I first purchased the emblems I kinda figured they weren't authentic because of the price, but I am happy with the results. If they fade eventually I'll get OEM ones. It's hard for me to justify dropping $100+ on badges though. I guess it's just personal preference.

What kind of seating do those lug nuts have? Because aftermarket lugs have conical ends while stock rims have rounded seating. Meaning that the contact area is reduced WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! There is a possibility of the lugs rattling off while driving. If the lugs you are using are cone ended then you should remove those immediately.

Sorry that was a little confusing, I meant they are not red in real life. I was surprised that they were red/orange with metallic flake when I got them. I have seen 2 fits with solid red back and the clear resin was already yellowing.
