So I'm trying to decide whether I should go with red or black "H" emblems to replace the regular ones on my silver 2004 civic coupe.

what colour do you guys think goes better with silver? Red or Black?

Black - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Black-Honda-Emble...1|293:1|294:50

Red - http://cgi.ebay.ca/Red-Honda-Emblem-...1|293:1|294:50

 

It's personal preference, but just note that those will be lower quality than what is currently on the car.

 

Red is overdone, it's so common to the point where it's kind of a bad thing to get red, IMO.

Unless of course you get genuine OEM Honda red badges...
(i don't know if these fit coupe)

But like ej6buddy was getting at, anything less than genuine OEM Honda badges are going to be low quality.

 

I like the black, especially if you have unpainted black trim

 

If they are lower quality, how much shorter will they last approximately?

and are they relatively easy to install?

 

Its just a big, plastic sticker. you take off the old ones and put the new ones on. Very easy. Idk how long they'd last because they are cheap copies, the adhesion might not be very good.

 

ya just paint your H emblem black. red on any color honda other than red exterior IMO is ugly and rice. but its your call.

i vote black but i say just paint yours... or to make it easier just get some black vinyl pull off your emblem off the trunk lid and cut out the vinyl so it is on the inside of the emblem outter edge and stick it on the trunk lid and poke the holes in the vinyl for the factory clips to hold the OEM emblem to the trunk and just pop your emblem on. now you have a black backed H symbol and you dont have to worry about it geting pressure washed off at the car wash or any leaking in the trunk...

because those cheapers just stick to the paint with alittle bit of 3M tape or other crappy tape and they dont fill the holes that are in your trunk lid. so very easy for water to get inside there!
