I see them all over. In fact, I have one on my Evo. It looks nice, but make sure you install it well. The previous owner of my Evo didn't, so it's just slightly curved. Not horrible, but certainly noticeable.

EDITED -- sorry, didn't realize that this is a REPLICA that's imported from Japan. I don't know... I'd just buy the real deal and avoid this one to be safe. I'd buy it to stick on my computer monitor or something, though...hehe

There's another thread floating around that is discussing this. The badge you see on that car isn't the one you're getting. The one you get actually looks like the EVO 7 badge with the VIII. If you search you will find it. I'm just too lazy to search for you.

Yep that's how it looks like. Not the same as the one listed on Ebay. Someone went so far as to ask why the seller is false advertising and the selling basically said F off!

But then again its only 20 bucks you can't go wrong there. You just have to decide it the real UK badge is what you want for 80 bucks.

Its not the UK badge-trust me I have both. The ebay one is a JDM/Ralliart version. Seller could care less about the difference. The JDM one looks like a** to me, but that's just my opinion.
