customized Honda emblem & more

Post by Raggagirl » Thu Jul 31, 2014 9:03 am

Hi all,

Does anyone where where I can get a customized Honda emblem? I am looking for a green one (like the typeR red but green) If not, how do I go about using the Monster Energy emblem in place of the Honda emblem? I have seen this done, (I hate to copy but I like the green) I am also looking for green/green trim car mats and steering wheel cover.
Thanks in advance!

You can spray the normal H badges (so the H is green) but it sounds like you're after a green background around the silver H?
:think: don't know if you can get at the background to remove the red and repaint it like you can on Ford badges...

Maybe you can pull off the original logo, mask the area on your hood where the logo is, paint it with green plastidip and put the logo back on. Then you have the original logo with a green background. And the best part is it's removable, so if you don't like it no more, you can peel it off.
Would look like this;

I've scoured Ebay and nothing. Even the floor mats they dont have the colours that I desire.

Google 'lime green honda emblem' and you should be able to find something. There's a company that does vinyl overlays that just stick straight over the emblem ;)

You're gonna have to get busy with a rattle can of Kawasaki green paint then, my dear!

As a floor mat alternative, go to a local carpet shop and ask for an off cut of the carpet you want, use an existing set of mats as a template and cut out some new ones. Then take the new mat shaped bits of carpet to an upholsterer and get them to whip-stitch the edges, like this:

It is fairly quick and quite cheap too.. nice way to get custom mats :)
