"Red H" Type R badge authenticity and fitment?

[Helms]

My friend gave me a red H badge, and it's definitely fake. It doesn't fit properly and its huge, so I'm definitely not using it. Basically my question is, do the real $50 type R badges fit perfectly on our CB trunks? & also, do the fake ones from eBay fit?, because $50 for a badge that could be shaved off easily sounds like a stupid mod but I love the look! So basically what is the correct size emblem for our trunks? Thanks!

if your only concern is the look then ebay dc2 type-r badges will do. Some people (like me) prefer having the real deal. It's mainly just a matter of personal choice.

The market has been oversaturated with phonies. Finding one that is 100% legit is like looking for a needle in a stack of needles. Or a diamond on a beach full of rhinestones. SOO many people have put fakes on and passed them off as real that there's probably no real 100% way to distinguish a fake from the real deal.

Just buy one from ebay.

Noo I personally think the "type r" badge is a bad look on our cbs, you'll thank me later

Jesus Christ, people... he's not asking for your opinions. He's asking if it's possible to find one that is the exact same size, so it will fit properly, like the stock emblem. If you can't answer that question, keep your opinions to yourself.

Maybe it's not fake dude, the newer honda's have bigger badges. The EK 1996-2000 Civic Type-R one is the look you are probably aiming for though.

True, but im sure your advise was very helpful to him.

I run this site.

[toycar]

I own this site.

Fixed?

[deevergote]

No, owning it and running it are two different things. As owner, I pay the bills. Some site owners do that and nothing more. As the person that runs it (along with my staff), I ensure that it runs properly... as in, people actually staying in line, following the rules, and not acting like over-opinionated fucktards when "answering" a question about something they don't approve of.

Oh, but I guess I need to chill out and just let this place turn into Honda-Tech. Nothing but archived info and smartass flaming noobs flinging poo at each other.

so we can only get a type r "H" emblem only for our trunks right guys or is there one for the front im not aware of.

i think a real type r badge can be aquired from Honda? wont they say honda on the back to?

to further answer you question i think they are the same size unless im thinking of the wrong thing

You buy both & what I've seen is people pretty much glue them on to their OEM grill. & if you don't want that but want a modified look you can get a mesh grill with a small "accord" badge in it.

[deevergote]

Nothing is going to be "authentic" on our cars anyway, as we never had a "type R" or any red badges. Real Honda parts or aftermarket would both be equally out of place.
