Emblem no fit. - Honda Prelude Forum

Jape · 07-14-2002, 12:50 AM

Ok guys, I bought a single CF Honda Emblem (shut your mouth its tight) and tried to put it on, first off its bigger than the original, and it dont line up to the holes either, the emblem spoke things are too far apart... Did they send me the wrong one? Later

I bought a carbon fiber one for my car too and it didn't fit. But instead of drilling bigger holes in my trunk I just grinded off the little pegs on the emblem. The 3M backing is more then sticky enough to hold it on.

Yeah i have done tis for several people, that double sided tape sticks very well just make use you measure and put a peice a tape down for a guide or something of the sorts that way you dont get a crooked emblem..

I agree. Why drill your car?

Or you can take a dremel and shave the pegs so they fit.

Jape, when did you get your carbon fiber hood? looks real good, now I see where you going with that carbon fiber emblem.

TurboFourLude · 07-15-2002, 08:41 AM

The front emblem is bigger than the back.....I had this problem.....why would you drill the holes bigger??? Just cut off the prongs and sand them down, I'd rather do that than tae a drill to my car.

influx · 07-15-2002, 08:50 AM

shave the pegs and pop the holes out on the car
