Yea im realy thinking about doing that actually what are u pshychic or somethin? haha jk but yah thinking about keeping the back Honda badge and painting it blue to match my brake calipers...idk who but someone painted them blue. Not real bad job just a lot of overspray on the suspension parts wana take the civic badge and put in on the grille when i get a new one. That look is kinda growin on me and no one around here has done that as far as i kno

I don't really think the blue would look that good on a white car.

It's a little overdone, but the red would look better than blue, I think.
You would want to repaint the calipers if you did that though. Really though, I think nothing looks cleaner than gloss black calipers, which is what I would recommend.

Here's the red ones. They're pricey but the real ones really do look best.

Yo my hatch is silver haha the pic is bad i kno sorry. But yah i agree the gloss black calipers are nice but i like my black hx wheels so dont wanna change those the blue, black, and silver combo really doesn't look bad at all...if it ever gets nice out ill update pics.

But i agree i LOVE those emblems. If i ever repaint my calipers to red id buy those in a heartbeat!
