The Replacement Emblem

I am not very sure how I lost the front emblem. Either it was stolen or flew off while I was speeding, which is a bit illogical since it has two screws tighten to the grill. Well, shit happens. Decided not to grieve about this, I bought the replacement last weekend from Exceptional Auto Parts in Glenmarie, Shah Alam and it costs me RM250 from my wallet. So much to pay for this red emblem don't you think so?

You can get almost everything from Exceptional for your 'JDM Type-R' need; from head/block assembly to the smallest thing such as the decals and interior emblems. Since everything is brand new, do come in with a thick wallet. For example, the facelift DC5 front headlight HOUSING costs RM1,600 for one side. That makes RM3,200 a pair NOT INCLUSIVE of the bulbs and HID system. Oh yes, the shop does not have any credit card facility so you might want to bring loads of cash.

Last but not least, the boss man is nottt that friendly so do not expect warm reception once you open their door. Scroll down for the address. If you have the relevant part number you can always call to check on prices and availability before visiting them. Its good to be prepared otherwise you'll be wandering around the shop not knowing what to get.





I found the front emblem part no. from this YouTube video. LOL!
