You can probably tell I'm still stuck in the golden era JDM 90s. Back then my favorite car and style would be a Veilside'd body Supra, I liked how they almost completely transformed the car and had their own iconic badging. I find it really weird on my cars that after I change out the bumper there usually isn't a spot for a badge (I love how the VS and other brands have sometimes), and putting a Honda or Toyota badge on it just kinda weirds me out. So I usually get really obscure or custom badges to put on it to fuck with people that don't know what car it is.
I have this old Do-Luck emblem on my old NSX and I've had people ask me what car it is and a couple of comment thinking it's a Porsche (must be the shield thing)
I also have this emblem on the rear, it's from DOME japan, where they fab'd the aero for the JGTC NSXs in the late 90s... Pardon my pic, it's the most recent one I have that shows... the rear
Also... a bonus cause Honda and Tesla drivers have a notoriously bad rep here in Hong Kong. I get asked a lot to this day even by my neighbours here what car it is. I usually just reply them "Just a modded Honda" though, that actually surprises a lot of people.
