I have recently purchased the JDM rear badge , P/N 75700-S5T-E01.
The curvature of the badge does not conform to the curvature of the rear garnish. For those who have installed this, how did you get your type r badge to conform to the curvature of the rear garnish?

right now, if I adhere the badge to conform at the top, there is more than 1 cm of space at the bottom between the badge and the garnish.

Did you guys have to bend ur badge to make it fit?

 

they are pretty hard to bend (well for me cuz i didnt want to break it) but you can clamp it or tape it...i held mine down for a good 10/15 mins cuz i didnt have either and it held for a while but lifted up later so yea not to sure what else to suggest

 

i took a heat gun to the back side of it and just softened up the plastic a bit. then put it on. and just kept working it till it fit the shape. just be careful not to heat it up too much. it may discolor the badge. i just took my time. took me like 35 mins to install the badge but i am a bit of a perfectionist.

 

i just pressed down on the top and bottom parts of the badge while on the garnish. that way it wouldn't snap in half. did that for a good 5 mins and i haven't had any lifting issues.

 

I just put it on and left it that way. the sticky pad on the emblem is pretty good, so it takes quite a bit of force to pull it off. You don't notice it unless you really look at it and I've had mine on for over a year in all kinds of weather conditions and it has yet to be a problem.

 

Leave the badge in the hot summer sun for at least 2-3 hours, peel the tape protector and install it. Press and hold for 5 minutes. It will come out good and curve to the garnish.

 

^^How about a 200F oven?^^
