i second this i must know!

billmus86 01-28-2008 05:57 PM

nail polish? maybe

F'it_ImFromTx 01-28-2008 06:13 PM

i thought of something similar to that. i was going to buy a milano red scratch repair pen ( you can get one at auto zone for like 6 bucks around here ). thats what i used to fill the h's in my old accords center caps. but id prefer a genuine honda part before making an attempt at the paining my wheel.

has anybody here used this, i would like to know what you think, i even went as far as to read the installation instructions to see it in better detail, it doesnt look bad, but i know theres a real one somewhere.

F'it_ImFromTx 01-28-2008 11:32 PM

i think i might look into this on friday when i get paid. it looks decent and its price seems right.

hazzard 01-28-2008 11:47 PM

Looks pretty good, how about the size?

i'm just wondering how to go about removing the stock emblem?

kelsodeez 01-29-2008 10:27 AM

you better look into how the airbag deploys. make sure you wont embed this emblem in your forehead.

ha! i didnt even think about that. well i guess its a chance im willing to take. and if it doesnt kill me i'll be branded for life. how much harm could it cause? its just a piece of vinyl.

kelsodeez 01-29-2008 12:31 PM

i had a plastic chevy bowtie on my old s-10's steering wheel and when i took it to my dealer, they said that the way the steering wheel splits during airbag deployment, the emblem would stab me straight in the forehead.

i have no airbag in the drivers side of my fit. i figure id rather knock out my front teeth than have a m-1000 blow up in my face. teeth are easier to fix than 3rd degree burns are.

with the kit they are talking about you dont have to remove the emblem, check the website on the post above and look into the install instructions.

teeth schmeeeth...hahaaa
my airbag broke my sternum (and possibly one or two ribs)
from personal experience the emblem (from my crash as well as my friends) the emblem is still attached but on just one of the flaps. If it was a real danger (factory)it would not be there. Aftermarket or messing with
it...idunno...either it wont do a darn thing (like most stockers) or it
would effff ya up!
ugh...bad memories....ugh....:(

HondaFitted2007 01-30-2008 03:52 AM

this looks pretty tight, but is the vinyl really flimsy like a sticker or it is semi durable like a thin plastic?? cus if its just a sticker type thing then i would reconsider

From what I read on that site, it's a resin filled decal, so it is from what I can tell quite durable like the front and rear red emblems...

HondaFitted2007 01-30-2008 04:07 PM

Combo 01-31-2008 01:42 AM

jdjohnson9 02-04-2008 06:32 PM

It says it only fits 8th gen civic's though. Will it still fit? Im really interested in this but dont want to end up with something that doesnt fit. Can anyone let me know if it does fit?

jdjohnson9 02-06-2008 02:32 AM

I said screw it and i ordered the steering wheel emblem and the key covers. I will post pics and what i think of them when they come in. I hope they fit but for $15 bucks shipped even if they dont fit who cares its only $15 bucks. I couldnt stand it anymore and i had to have them. haha.

you just put red vinyl in the gaps of the oe emblem or did you order one from the company? It looks pretty good. I would love to see some better pics if you have some. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thats funny cause im in the same boat. One of the guys i work with will buy it for his 8th gen if it doesnt fit mines. haha. I checked his key fob and it looks excatly like mine so i ordered the red keys H's aswell. Again if it doesnt fit for some reason hes gonna take them of my hands so either way i couldnt lose when i ordered them. Hopefully they wont take too long to ship cause i really want them. I gotta hurry and finish painting my interior trim too so it doesnt look so silly with only the one small hint of red. :D

im sure it all will fit the wheels look about the same. are the ket fobs just a vinyl piece as well or is it the whole plastic back piece? because brice at jhp told me that the actual plastic back piece with the red h's will fit any honda key that is like that.
