Evolution X badge
I've always liked the UK or JDM or whatever it is "Evolution X" badge that came on Evos from the factory in other parts of the world...
...but I was certainly not going to spend $100 on basically just the "X". So I figured I would make my own. I went and bought an Acura RDX badge on eBay for 10 bucks...
...and decided I wouldn't use the "R" or the "D".
This is what I came up with, relocating the stock Evolution badge to the other side and using the X from RDX. Turned out pretty good I think, and the angle of the X matches the Evolution letters just about perfectly. I also recently got some Ralliart taillights.

I definitely like it. I've been considering doing the same kind of thing since I don't want to spend $100 for an "X" badge.

Thanks for the comments. I thought about going fully debadged, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I liked the Concept X badge the one guy made but I didn't like the X that he used, and I didn't want to get the IX UK badge and just get rid of the I.
I'm happy with how it looks
