Red Honda badge?

[Paul.Z]

Does anyone know where you could buy the red Honda badge for a GD3? front and year.

thanks :D

[sPoOnD_]

ebay :)

front one in around 2 weeks time
PM me

Get one of them fancy LED ones for the front :D

Try to get the Honda OEM ones, they arent cheap but the cheap ones fade yellow and the red melts, its just a bad experience. after that i used the original and put a piece of carbon wrap behind it, makes a nice carbon fiber rear badge :D

[Paul.Z]

ahaha..dont think i'll get the LED one :P
ahaha but i think 80 bucks for a badge is pretty expensive :P
carbon wrap sounds like a good idea. where'd you get yours from?

[GU357]

uhm i had a spare piece of it laying around and just took my one off the back and traced it over the carbon fiber wrap and voila cut it out stick it on, i think i used selastic as glue.
its very nice! at most get the Honda OEM front one, and make a carbon wrap back one. if u get your bonnet wrapped ask for any off cuts they only have to be mildly sticky.
the wrap is carbond fiber 3m di-noc <- i think
if u want i can do a pic ahaha

EDIT: heres a pic anyway xD

that looks sick...and i love the mugen badge too i might do the same :D

[GU357]

the mugen badge im pretty sure was copy but still nice, just make sure the copys are aluminium or they will fade.
and i also stuck it there accidentally as i slipped and thats just where it landed AHAHA.

[Paul.Z]

ahahaha...its still a pretty sick place to land :P
thanks for the tip btw.

is sticking a transformer badge on considered rice? LOL

[gre03]

^ notsureifsrs
imo yes, very

[GU357]

Lol i dont think so, theres nothing ricey or asian about transfomers (movies). infact most of the cars on the show are american ones. and its not like only asian ppl like it xD
However if transformers reminds you off the Anime then it would seem very ricy. BUT! i see commodores with them on too so i guess you could just say its a new generation thing rather than a "rice" thing.

[gre03]

IMO i consider rice parts to be purchased purely for aesthetic/cosmetic reasons
(Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement)

However beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So do what you want, rather than being worried about what other people think. :thumbsup:

[GU357]

OH!!!! RICE as in the acronym i thought u meant just asian, Blingy Flashy rubbish that you see people in asia cover their cars in!
Well i dunno if a TF badge is race inspired, but it isnt something u really need on your car, as it doesn't really make the entire car look better ( like a spoiler) or promote that you are using racing parts.

although, Race inspired cosmetic enhancement would include Side skirts, front n Rear Bars, spoilers, and car lowering.
its all cosmetic and inspired by ground effects.... i cant seem to find the line between RICE and actually making a car sporty then :/

[gre03]

^ true. but its purchased for visual reasons, rather than to make the car perform or look better (personal preference thing). i agree that calling it a race inspired item is vauge. for instance a spoiler may look stupid, but might help downforce, and therefore isn't ricey. but a spoiler that doesn't aid in effective downforce would imo be considered ricey. the whole rice topic is very much a personal preference thing.
lol i'm confused now. drained after work.

[GU357]

yeh its abit of a hard one. especially when u then take into account that these are road cars, and wont be doing any real speed.
but the argument for it would be that it still makes the car safer when turning regardless of the speeds :S

im throwing myself into circles

[Paul.Z]

valid points guys...but i want my Jazz to be "special" instead of just another jazz.
i know that a red honda badge wont give me any hp -.- its not like im putting a roof scope or an outrageous stupid bodykit and saying it will increase my top speed -.-
the badge would probs be the most i'd do..and probs a fit badge.

[GU357]

imo the fit badge wont look as kool.
ppl will be like "huh wth is a fit?"
better of just getting the badges or doing the carbon thingo.


i know how you feel about the "just another jazz"
it annoys me too. they have so much potential and are underrated little cars.
If they didnt look so boring at stock it wouldnt be so bad, but as they are without the body kit they all look so lame.

[Paul.Z]

yeah..people wouldn't have a clue what a fit is :P
where can you buy some carbon?

[GU357]

well carbon wrap is a vinyl wrap and u just stick it on like a big ass sticker! usually u buy it by the meter, or in big rolls.
it just so happens i was gonna find a pic of a roll for u, but i found this gumtree advert (http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-parts-accessories-auto-body-parts-3M-Di-Noc-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Film-Wrap-CA-421-Fibre-W0QQAdIdZ192517634)

[Paul.Z]

ahaha thanks..but i already ordered some from ebay :P

and i got it with some yellow tint for my fog lights :D
thanks again

[GU357]

yeh thats the stuff!!

Im planning to buy another GD3 and get the bonnet wrapped in that and the side mirrors in a Hexis 3000m super matte black :D
(CMON I WANT A WHIT/BLUE/YELLOW jazz... if only one would come onto the market)

anyway happy to help and good luck

i've seen carbon vinyl @ Autobarn. it wont be cheap, but it will be the easiest place to buy it. OR you can go see a digital printing supply mob, like AGS. from them you SHOULD be able to get a bit that actually looks like dry carbon, but it's REALLY expensive. not that you'll need much, but they might not sell you less then 1m, and it's about $180 per meter for a 600mm wide run.

hehehe.. RICE... hehe... should have taken a foto, but @ the workshop when i was picking up the jazz, there was some parts sent to them, in a Sunrice Instant microwave box, and on the front it said "Rice in 90 Seconds." was laugh. AND the boys didn't notice until i pointed it out :P

[ss-rotel]

paul - Wow, that's cheap. let us know how good it is once you get it? above i'm talking about 3M stuff, which is why it's expensive, but if the cheap chinesse stuff is just as good... :)

[Paul.Z]

ahaha nice GU357..and blue looks sweet...i should know, i got one :P
and ss-rotel i'll keep you noted on the quality.
