Ewww. That is a nice badge and everything but thats no different than this guy I know with a Sentra SE-R putting a GTR badge on his car. Just like putting RZ on your car.... why would you want people to think you have something that you dont. Hypocracy!!

If you are going to put that on your car just make sure your car is modded to at least the same performance level as a Spirit R.

That should not be too hard.
Then no one could say you were rice.

Badges on a slow car is Rice.
But badges on a fast car is just advertisement.

BTW - those badges do look real cool.

I wouldn't consider it rice since the US FD isn't much different from the Spirit R. Type R badges on a CIVIC would be justyfiable if the owner had a car to back it up.

On a sidenote: ing over that thing
