Nice job on the civic lettering in particular. Saw a couple vids before yours and I can't believe some people free hand that shit. It would drive me crazy if a letter was even a couple degrees slanted.
The black emblems, or painted special colors to your own preference are a must fir the Si, Sport, Sport Touring, etc. I would probably have the front emblem painted gunmetal or blue if your car is Aegean Blue Metallic or Boost Blue for contrast, inlets you get the nice JDM type emblems, some that come in different colors and even the chrome trim blacked out. What Honda should offer is optional Si emblems that have the chrome trim blacked out to match, because the chrome edge Si badges clash with the black emblems. Also, you could possibly use nylon fishing line in place of the dental floss, as it doesn't fray and may not break.
Instead of spending $80 to $100 on the emblems, just get a can of hyper dip piano black and spray them yourself. looks just the same but saves you a lot.
@@leanchasersxI read ur comment and considering about getting some glossy black spray paint from auto zone and do this. Taking the emblems off without breaking them will be my only concern tryna do this, or just by sticker ones to go over if they even have anything like that.
@sergraphix You're going to snap the clips. Just in case you were wondering, hyperdip is tough and can take hits from a pressure washer. Mine still looks as black as the first day I sprayed it. Also, if you spray paint it, you have to top coat it and a good 2k clear coat is about $30. All those will take you close to the price of a new emblem. I spray my emblems, badges and license plate with just one can and still have some remaining. Ultimately it depends on what you're comfortable with and I like your idea of using an overlay. If it's pre-cut then you won't need a kit but it will require precision and any mistake will ruin it. If you buy a sheet, you will have extras to go with and possibly get some practice in, which is much needed if you've never wrapped anything before. Lastly, I've used all those options on my car. I wrapped the door pillar posts in gloss black, used gloss black spray paint and 2k clear coat on the front upper and lower grills and the fog light trimmings. Now, all the black trimmings on my are uniform, not gloss here and matte there and whatever else somewhere else. Topped it off with skinny gloss black racing stripes on the sides.

Great video. I learned a thing or two but where did you get the spoiler ?
Can’t wait for the next video
You had to buy floss? You don’t have floss sitting around to floss your teeth?
The black on the gray looks good.
love the vids!! excited to start looking at dealerships this week for an 11th gen SI. Did you pay an additional mark up?

I saw a guy use credit cards and it worked so well
Nice video I’m doing the same for my car I have a 2018 Honda civic white ex I’m plastic dip honda civic emblem black
What up from O’Fallon, MO!! Just got my 24 SI!!
wait when you got the little clip thing from the front emblem stuck, how’d you get it out?
What spoiler do you have?
I got a black civic I think id get a red one tho is there a red one ? Not the one with the red base and chrome honda badge just a full red Honda badge
Where can I get one of those blue plastic wedges?
my dad 🤣. nah i think its like a carpet wedge, so prolly look for those on amazon youll find something similar
@@88outthegate38 okay thanks bud!
How do you remove the front SI?
So the oem badges WILL fit the Si. PRL’s site says they won’t fit the Si
Where does the front badge clips go after to pry it off?
Would you use the tape around the emblem on the back again? Did you find you needed it or it helped?
Was my least favorite color, with the black completely doable
Where did you buy the emblem and civic letters from?
College Hills Honda is your best bet. hth
👍👍
Wow, much nicer
Would those fit a 10th gen
i believe not, but there should be a product out there for the 10th gen to do the same exact thing to your vehicle. its a common change ppl make!
What spoiler is that ?
Stock
Damn he is cute 😍
Bro just do plasti dip

yeah but these are oem 😉
@earfwerm who cares? Have you ever heard anyone ask "Are those OEM?".
