Dumb, Stubborn, and bound to end up penniless…….

Post by aklackner » Sat Sep 04, 2021 8:34 pm

Have a bit of a decision point.

Need to decide if I should place the “Honda” nameplate on the rear or leave it off.

Any thoughts

I say off, being honest the big Red "h" says it, w/out saying it and it looks cleaner.

I'm a fan of it on. Always been a fan of keeping the look as original as possible, and I've always associated cars with missing badging as a car that was in an accident and repaired by a abodysuit. shop.

If the holes are already there, you may as well. IMO it looks cleaner without as long as you don't have the holes!

My gardeners came through with a blower before I could get the ITR out of the way or coveredImage

So I had to give it another bubble bath Image

Now I just need to get back out there and get the roof, hood, and front bumper polished up.

I really dig that hood. Life is a bit hectic atm but I really need to get back to detailing my cars.

I like the "Honda" letter badge too. Is that the JDM stock badge/location?

EDM and JDM look to have the name plate placed there. USDM has the Acura name badge in the same place.

I’m haven’t placed it yet but am leaning towards it. Fits well with the simpler 97 feel I’ve targeted.
