Stolen badge!

[1Canuck2]

Hi,

I keep meaning to post about this...
About three weeks after I got my P5, some bastard stole my M from the front grill. It looks all ghetto with two little holes where the tabs for the M used to go.

I am to cheap to buy a new one (as I'd rather spend money on mods) and Ifear someone will just steal it again.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Does anyone have any ideas for what I could do (alternatives to buying a new badge) that might make my car a little different (as if I planned ot rmeove the badge).

Interestingly, since this happened to me, I have seen two other P5s in town that had the same thing happen. At least they can;t blame me!

you could always get the autoexe or autoexe replica grill..

I had my rear flying M badge stolen. Got a new one from the dealer

Try checking the auto wreckers in your area. You could buy an emblem for a very cheap price.

they're only $13 from the dealer...i replaced mine in the front before getting a new replica grill...

Only $13? I assumed it would be some rip off like $30 or more... I guess I should find out the cost first before doing anything drastic.

My buddy's Honda badge was $45CAN ($30US)!

Well, canadian tire sells GT-R emblems. Maybe you might want to consider that? I guess it adds around 20 whp.

Yeah, if you pull it off a car yourself you can get the five-finger-discount.

in my area the hondas and acura's are bare of badges. some kids running around the apartment parking lot at night i bet.

when and if you get a new badge...use epoxy glue to fasten it into place. the stuff i got hold 1000 pounds per square inch. they won't be able to get it off with their screwdriver.

When I drove a Honda Civic as a company car ( not mine!) the front H badge was stolen twice. Cost $20.00 CAD from the dealership. I'm just waiting for the M badge to be stolen. But make sure you glue it on tight if you replace it.

Taking the badge is not a big problem, I am afraid they might scarch the paint or make a dent or sth.

Some are not as blessed as we to have Mazdas to cruise in...

And to keep it on-topic:
Shave off ALL the badges, front and rear!
