Grey or Black emblems? - Honda Prelude Forum

Grey emblem:

Black emblem:

Which would look better on an all black lude? In those pics the grey one actually looks darker to me but I'm afraid it'll be lighter than I expect when it shows up at the door. Does anyone have the grey emblem on their lude? The picture of the black one looks more glossy to me.

Maybe this is a stupid post but hey, let me know what ya think =]

I'm pretty sure the black one would be darker in real life.

A little OT: I wish they made our "H" symbols in gunmetal color...sometimes you see them on the Lexus cars. Looks awesome on a dark colored car.

I'd say none or stock. Someones just gonna steal em anyway, so why bother.

I don't think it would look good w/ the black emblems b/c of the prelude symbol on the bumper unless u took that off

Carbon Fiber all the way baby. Get the black otherwise. Oh yeah, you need mounting tape because the emblems are concaved and the tape will not reach to your car and you'll just end up scratching the crud out of your ride. Wish someone told me this....

So someone can jack it from you???

BIGDADEPUMP · 02-26-2002, 07:12 PM

Man, I am very careful where I park my car (Everywhere from the corporate center I work at to the stores I visit) but I have never even thought of someone ripping them off my ride. Hmmm, that would really suck especially if they used a screw driver.

redlude2k1 · 02-26-2002, 09:08 PM

not worth the money some stupid kid in a civic will probably jack them from you anyways...........

2kPreludeSH · 02-26-2002, 10:03 PM

If I had to do it again, I'd probably would gotten the black chrome emblems instead of red "H".

I know here in australia they have gunmetal H symbols for the CRV model....problem is they are the size ofthe rear H symbol on the prelude, so its too big for the front...

JoeW · 02-27-2002, 09:34 AM

argh... Anyone have any stock emblems for sale?

I'd hate to give the Honda Dealership more money than I already have... (these red ones stand out too much but I can't afford to get the holes filled in & painted right now to leave them off :/ )

axngen · 02-27-2002, 11:06 AM

i used to have white ones, but they got jacked twice so i gave up. back to stock now, although i'd rather have them shaved. between black and grey, i'd go black.

AncientPC · 02-27-2002, 03:55 PM

I wouldn't get them, I know people who have had their's jacked and people who jack them.
