I like it Just not the chrome inserts. But then i did mine in the same color MSG as my vette. But, i have to admit that i may take them off. I really like the black inserts. But then you may hate them. But then i don't really care what you think And hopefully he won't either

I think the chrome inserts look good on white... Have you considered changing your hood and hatch emblems to chrome to match your chrome/white theme....

The inserts are not my cup of tea, but I'm not going to insult the guy just because we have a differing opinion on aesthetics.

I think BlownV6 has some growing up to do.

Come on. He shouldn't care what i think anyway. Aslong as he likes it.



He's saying that differing opinions are what makes this board great. However there's no reason to be offensive just because your tastes differ.

never thought to put an emblem on the B pillar. LOOKS GOOD.
Anyone else have creative places to place the emblem?

I like the chrome tail light louvers...might be why i put some on my black vette w/blacked out tal lights.

'r' stands for honda's performance trim level. kind of like the what the z06 is to our vettes. some of the type r engines (the very first integra type r's in 98?) had hand built engines they are pretty fun cars to drive too.

the thing that makes it 'rice' is that a lot of people (not just kids and eg ) put the 'type r' sticker or badge on there cars when they have base trim level cars.
