That would be cool if you get the history sorted out.

I went through the same process as you and Doespike helped narrow it down. Turned out PO sold it to a friend and he won’t give it up for anything. But atleast I found the number, I hope you have better luck than me!

Len is OG and good peeps. As an Acura/Honda Parts Manager, he always stocked common maintenance items before Expo. There were a few times where heads/transmissions/other items were shipped overnight due to Expo incidents.

If you could give him my contact info that would be great. PM'ed to you. I'd love for someone to confirm my research (& be 100% sure) that I have the badge # sorted before getting one engraved. I bought the oem blank badge a while back, been waiting to finish the restoration. Final step (Other than antique/classic status in 2026)!

My car will never be 100% original due to the repair history, so I dont mind engraving a new badge when I am sure I have the correct #. My car wont have top collector value, but thats ok, I wanted a car I could drive to the track and at the track when instructing in my retirement years. What I hated to think about was my original badge riding around glued to a console as the most valuable piece of a riced out civic

Did we confirm if this is Lens old car? 01-475.... That would be neat to see that is has been repaired and has turned up again.


Len and his fireworks

No confirmation yet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Stay tuned!

Per Len,
"I totaled my PY (#01-0475)"
