Red H badge on 5th Gen?

Hi guys,

Picked up my JDM 5th Gen off another guy on the forum yesterday and am delighted with it! It's a great car to drive and apart from having to replace the battery today, it all seems to be running nicely.

I'm planning on putting the red H emblem on the front and rear and have had a look on ebay and can't seem to find the right one. Do I need to buy the one that fits the Integra Type R or the Accord Type R?

Also, as I only got one key with the car, I'll need to get a spare cut - will this one be okay?

The red emblem is specific to type R's. As there was never a type R Lude it is not protocol to fit one to them :ugeek:

Fit one if you dare go against the Prelude hierarchy :lol:

Don't bother, look gay as window. And as Macky said, they were only put on Type R's.....and there's no such thing as a Prelude Type R. Plus the red always fades after a few months.

Up to you but the only way to do it is with genuine badges. The ones on eBay will be fakes that are more pink than red :lol:

Intention was to get OEM badges from a different Honda to match my JDM red interior but apparently it's not a good idea so guess I'll be sticking with the originals now!

Any ideas on the key?

Key should be fine.

Do what you want mate, there are dos and don'ts I suppose but it's your car and you're the only one that has to like it. IMO there are far worse things you could do than a red badge :lol:

Nothing wrong with red badges imo. On a white lude they look good. If you get them go for the ep3 badges. They won't fade. I had them before I debadged.

My steering wheel has the red badge (ep3 wheel). Suit the interior well.

Welcome to the fold.

Everything re: Badges has already been said. You don't need Type R. You are Prelude. Enough.
