That's for sure...white was the only option for me because it matched my license lights. Plus, I felt like that color made the emblem look the most naturally backlit...BUT, the red is great and MAN, that extreme blue on WDP is sexy too!

Pre-Coffee
Wow. I have read this whole thread and first of all, I am pre-coffee. So forgive the lack of caffeine spelling or grammar errors, or general bad attitude. Here are some random scatterbrain thoughts in no order of priority.
1. If you doubt what I am about to write, read the very first thread about Amp'd Emblems®, the one GGESQ linked. This is how these threads go. And more than likely, it is the same with most products, unless they are so multi-billion sold, univerally accepted. (Even then....I don't like the Snuggie!)
I'm sure this will piss a few of you off. But...remember...PRE-COFFEE.
Some guy/girl that is into his car and mods, see a product. Mine, yours, whatever. He/she likes it. Gets on a forum and "asks" for opinions. I would say over 70% of all replies of ANY product, get the negative, rice, no way, silly +1, +1000, not me, BS. Then....the poor guy drops the idea. The thread is done.
He had an idea.....and instead of being a leader, thinking on his own, decides to go with the crowd. Sheep. Plain and simple. Lack of courage, and leadership. (Change the adjective to suit your tastes)
2. I have said this thousands (Okay I exaggerate. Know that and deal with it.) of times. THESE LOOK SO MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. They are subtle. It is VERY hard to take a picture of light, in the dark. The very first pictures I had taken of my car, were from a professional paid photographer, with a multi-thousand dollar camera. The reds look orange. So many variations, factors, etc. There is more, but it has all been said by me before.
3. NO ONE, that made the leap of faith, has said anything less than "they love it!"
4. My supporters on this thread, made that non-sheep leap of faith and have had nothing but good things to say about the product, the service, etc.
5. Thank you GGESQ for the link. Thank you to all my supporters/customers like Steven Bell, Rockstar143, CubanLynx84, Leedogg, and Ciscopath. Forgive me if I left anyone on this thread out. There are obviously more. Please, take the time and read my UN-EDITED TESTIMONIALS on my website. All of these guys, have taken the time to defend, on here, a product that they now own. Some of them were skeptical at first, before there were lots of pictures. Obviously, they are satisfied. And if I were ever looking for leaders, thinkers, these are the guys I would be walking with.
6. Sorry about your gag reflex Jimmyl. The dude that bought that one, loves the fact that NO ONE else has one. Plain and simple.....HE LIKES IT.
7. Amazing how brave and rude people are on some of these faceless forums. It's similar to someone walking up to someone on the street, and telling them, "your shoes suck", "you dress like a girl", "I don't like green", etc. First of all, these are things some 3rd graders would be saying to each other before they understand life. Second, it goes back to one of my other points of a year ago. It's like someone asking you what your favorite color is, you answer, and they tell you that your choice sucks. It's absolutely crazy. I doubt any of the "opinion givers/haters" would walk up to anyone of these supporters and tell them this negative BS to their face.
Everyone can have an opinion. It's just how you go about bashing and presenting it. Don't get it? When your wife/girlfriend whomever, asks you if their butt looks fat in these pants/dress....do you come right out and say..."yes honey...it looks so much fatter than Megan Fox's ass." Not.
8. This is for everyone in life. Be brave. Don't be a sheep. Lead, don't follow. If you like a product, a color, a car (remember, there are guys out there driving 24" rims on Malibus, that laught at the TL), whatever, and whomever....support it and go for it. If not, look for another one. But truly, there is no need for bashing. Some people just like to be heard. And they find that if they bash on these threads, suddenly they can feel big.
Thanks for listening. And thank you again, to all of the supporters on here, that have actually taken time out of their busy life, to respond and defend this product.
Coffee time.

One more thing....several of the "opinion givers" feel so strongly negative about this, that this is not their first thread at negativity. They got bashed for being negative before, and disappeared. Now they have re-emerged just to give someone new their "opinion" that was not popular before. Interesting.

I don't know how anyone would see that and think it's cheesy, but...to each their own. I think it looks great. I think people are stuck on the emblems of yesteryear where they were glow in the dark or heavily overdone or visible during the day or on ebay for $10.
I am telling you all, now that most car manuf. have figured out LED lighting is affordable and reliable and are putting them in OEM headlights...you will see more and more stuff like this emerge.

Oh, and I heart Megan Fox...just sayin

And Rockstar,
You are correct. There has not yet been an Amp'd Integra made yet. A few Integra guys want one, but I am still in the R & D phase for them. Whatever emblem was spoken of, it wasn't an Amp'd Emblem®.
And Megan Fox hearts you too.....

Amen, Amp'd. People are still stuck in the olden days of.....
which I admit is where I drew my original opinion from. I posted the pic so others can make a real comparison between what Amp'd emblems are and what the old ones used to be but looking at the activity of the thread after your post..................I think you've pretty much shot it down already.
And your "Be the head, not the tail" post should be sticky-ed somewhere. I've seen vendors "apologize" to people who dislike (yet don't even own) their products but never one to tell it like it is. Much props, man. I'll be hitting you up soon for the front bumper emblem.

Steve, good opportunity to put up a comparison shot with the one cisco posted above...would give people a good visual at what they are visualizing and criticizing vs. what you are actually selling.
#53
Thanks for the post and the comments Cisco. I appreciate them and your continued support.
That is quite the interesting emblem! I have never seen anything like that. I would say that obviously, Amp'd Emblems® look nothing like that one!
I will say also, that some might like that one better than Amp'd Emblems®. I have had an inquiry about "uniform" light. As you and all of my customers know, the Amp'd Emblem has a unique light pattern that is not entirely uniform and doesn't have light transmission through the emblem. All of our light is reflected. With that, views from different angles give unique impressions of the emblem. Better? Worse? Different. IMO...unique.
I say this, in support of people's opinion that want different things. I am completely happy that I have had the support I have with the fans of Amp'd Emblems®. I do know however that not everyone will love one. And that is fine!
So as Rockstar mentioned, here is one of ours/yours.
Thanks,
Amp'd

These are excellent additions for any TL. I've got a red one on the back and a white one on the front.
They look classy, they're subdued, so the blend in with everything else.
This is a "can't miss" mod.

My is that it looks really ricey. People who ask if it came with the car probably ask because it's odd or not normal to them....hence usually not OEM.
I wouldn't do it to mine. People who like them are usually also people who like added headlight LED strips. I'm all for function over form, which is I like things like LED or cold cathodes in place of halogen lights for licence plates.
Whatever floats your boat though, it wouldn't be a fun place if every TL looked the same.
