Lighted emblem. Real "unique." (Actually, its contained in Chapter 1 of the Ricer Handbook).



Here's one suggestion on how to mount a lighted emblem.

socal is the ****. He flames everybody's opinion. There's nothing wrong with being a ricer. It's some people's taste. Imagine a civic being treated like a benz with brabus wheels. Darn funny.

SKIDZ..
Rather than cutting wire hangers for a hack job tool and risk damaging your trim, goto your local MB dealer and pay $8 for an instrument cluster removal tool.

If that's too expensive, you can unbolt and drop your lower dash to remove the cluster without using the cluster removal tool.

ok you got me there. i think i started with mine when i chose the color. then its been little by little since. id like to add an aluminum piece which match the aluminium from the dash to go into the cluster like where the AMG one does in the C32
