Bonnet/hood emblem or not?

[ImmortalOne]

Hi all,
I recently had clear bra put on my EK9 and they took the bonnet/hood emblem off. I have a US spec hood so no holes for the emblem. Now I have to decide whether to leave it off or put it back on. Typically I like no emblems but I'm undecided so far. Opinions?

TIA

Id leave the badge on! It looks ten times better with it on

I would leave it off, but only because everyone and their mother in the US has a red H badge on their accord, civic, or integra. And to me it usually looks like they did it because they don't have the know how to install parts that actually improve the car, or they didn't have the money, so they got a red shift boot and a chrome R oil cap to hold them over.

However if I had an EK9 I would obviously just leave it as it was.

But you build your car for you blabity bla bla bla... etc

I agree Dino, way too many people in the US do useless mods just for that JDM look. I practically see one Honda or Acura with a red badge every week.

I am also a big fan of leaving rare/special vehicles in original condition, though usually with a few subtle and tasteful mods. Also, if I do happen to make a significant change I make sure to keep the original parts and make sure it's reversible.
