Just letting everyone know I just saw that there are finally some Evo IX trunk badges on Ebay! I just bought one and he has some more listed...

This is not me and I do not know him, so please don't ask me any questions - just giving a heads up!!

 

thanks. i was looking for those the other day.

do you know how identical these are to the actual jdm ix badges?

 

sweet, i love these badges

 

Sorry man, I'm not sure...I just like the look

 

I e-mailed him to see if it was OEM or a replica...I will post when I recieve an answer

 

i believe in the description he says it is a replica, however it is the chrome nice replica, not a vinyl sticker. double check.

 

I have the black evo8 "replicas" from this same seller and they look and fit like oem.

 

they are replicas and are not vinyl.

what i want to know is how close to the oem are they

 

I've owned both and beg to differ. After shelling out $85 for the OEM UK badges, I decided to try these since they were less than half the price point and needed something quick to cover up the scratches left by the assclowns who stole them.

They do "look" similar, but the adhesive tape is much thicker than the UK badges and the chromed metal is much thinner. They went on fine, but the first time I washed my car the "E" and "V" letters caught my wash mitt and bent the corners of the letters. I tried bending them back, but they were never the same after that.

FWIW I must have washed my car 20+ times with the UK badges and the same brand wash mitt without over bending back a corner of a letter.

I'm not knocking the ebay ones, for all practical purposes, they look just like the more expensive ones, and would probably work fine if you only detail around them with an old toothbrush. But for me, I'd rather spend the extra money on the higher quality ones and pray I catch whoever tries to steal the 3rd set...YMMV

what about these, anyone try it yet?

 

That's the same seller...I'll give them a shot and if they are crap, then I guess it will be a lesson learned and I'll get the real ones.

 

Damn*t I logged on to get one "buy now" and all 3 listings were sold

 

Just picked one up. Will let ya know how they are when I get them.

 

Good stuff, I will likely buy a set as well...

 

I just snagged a set as well hopefully they look good when they come in .
