Um, where did that come from? Nike was saying some red badges would look good, and I do like the JDM Type-R badges. No one had anything to say about coil-overs, are you just trying to get my thread off topic? The Honda emblem is the only emblem that I plan on keeping on my car, for the record.

Actually, I like the car with the Rotas better. Stock wheels are... well... they're stock wheels. Congrats on a good buy and your car doesn't look bad (nice color, BTW). If that's the looks you like - then more power to ya and enjoy it (again, it doesn't suck in the least).

'Type-R' badges on non-Type-R cars are: "t3h Ric3"

(actually, any badges of the like on non-equipped cars scream 'Ricer') Sorry - but you asked for opinions.

Wow, you guys really don't like the look of the Type-R badges? I think they look pretty good; I like anything Type-R, lips, emblems, wings (actually, I really don't like wings at all, but certain Type-R's are okay), wheels, you name it. So you're saying Type-R badges on anything not equipped is Ricer? Well, what about everyone with Type-R lips? I don't think they're ricer at all; Type-R lips are one of my favorite lip kits. And I wasn't talking about some cheap Auto-Zone emblem, I meant something decent.

I do somewhat agree with what you're saying Type RB, I just really hated the fact that they were spray painted, and I've always loved the Si wheels. If they weren't painted or at least in decent shape, I definitely would have stuck with the Rota's. But thanks for the opinions everyone!

Some people have different tastes. And as for the whole 'type-r' dilemma, that's just not using logic. And if someone doesn't like it, that doesn't mean it is ricer. Everyone on this board is practically a ricer because it doesn't have a real definition.

I was thinking, it is a little similar how ricers like anything that says JDM on ebay, and how I like anything Type-R. I still think the red badges would look decent, though...

I mean, don't take it the wrong, I just don't like them, period. That does mean I think they're 'ricer'.
