Gold 'H' Badge

anyone know where I can get a gold edition 'H' badge for the trunk of a 96-00 coupe? Honda doesn't make them anymore and I called wreckers and they all say they don't have em.. I know I can paint a silver one but I'd rather have the real thing..

A guy on H-T gold dipped his Mugen MF-7 gold (or gold chrome), too baller if you ask me. But for a smaller piece, the price could be affordable. I would go to a shop that does chroming for a gold chrome.

you can dip it...electoplating doesnt use molten metals a chroming/plating place should be able to do your stock badge or a new silver badge from honda...u can even buy at home electroplating kits to do the same...I saw it on one of them car shows on spike tv

just get the kit and then gold plate everything, nuts, bolts, washers and other random fittings...that actually sounds like a good idea...gold washers would look sick with black hardware...word!

i've been using that site for a while. Its nice to live really close to the border and when I ordered things from there, told them to deliver it to a Honda Dealer in the states, drove for 20mins, was there and 20mins back. Well worth it

Yeah...I saw that afterwards too. But I can get it brought over here. I have relatives in the states, so it can work out.
