aj-racing hatchbacks all run rs badges.

i know the RS badge was ment for the sedan's.

i see aj-racing puts the rs badge on all there hatchbacks... do you consider this 'rice' since its not a true rs? and if you DO consider that 'rice' do you consider putting 'civic type-r' oem stickers on your car rice?

i personally like the RS badge alot... i was considering it when i change the color next winter. i just wanna hear other feedback.. im still torn between.

I have the RS badge.

With O.E backing plate too.

Removed it since though as it through off the entire symetry of my front end. I was going more for the whole "Road Sailing" historic look at the time, and I personally do not consider the RS badge to be rice, but it is however becoming a trend.

Now if you were to place the Vi-RS badging onto a coupe, or hatchback, then yes I'd hoof you in the gonads. haha And as for the Civic Type R badging, if you have the motor to back up the decal, then by all means use it. If not, once again I will refer you to the kicking in the gonads.

Im not exactly sure. Im leaning towards rice, but I honestly do like the way it looks, just not the mentality. It would be like me putting an SI badge on my car. Or a turbo sticker on a non-turbo eclipse. Etc

to tell you the truth im not even sure what 'rs' stands for... does it stand for 'road sailing' or was that just made up? i seriously dont know...

any info would be excellent.

RS in 1974 or something originally stood for Road Sailing. There was a big advertisement from Honda for the 3 door RS hatchback, and in the background was some winding roads, and in big bold letters it said "Road Sailing". However when it comes to the Vi-RS, I honestly think its just a model name, and nothing more. Lots of people think it stands for Racing Sedan, but there's nothing "Racing" about a 130HP 3 Stage VTEC Single Cam.

yeah i was leaning towards 'just a model name' as far as rice goes... i did see some older 80 style civic hatchback's w/the rs badge... you could always tell people 'know your roots!'

Personally...I wouldn't put it on.

Even though I have all of the SiR parts that I do...I'd never put an SiR badge on my car. You might have almost a complete CTR interior, but I imagine you'd never put the badging on yours.

i wouldnt put ctr badges on the car... but the 'know your roots' road sailing badge would be cool. imo.

i always thought RS stood for "Rally Sport" or is that just for the Chevrolets!?!?
