I went about purchasing JDM emblems from several companies currently offering them for the 2012 Civic.
My car is a 2012 Honda Civic Si Sedan, so I purchased emblems for this specific year.

It should be noted that there is currently no such thing as a 9thGen Honda Civic Type-R, so the emblems being sold are from older Type-Rs.

This thread serves to show you the various offerings and provide you the opportunity to compare what you're getting to what everyone else is selling. As I'm able to purchase more emblems from other companies offering them, I'll update this thread accordingly.

ProCivic offers a rear emblem that is different than from what everyone else is selling, which is smaller.
They have test-fitted the emblems on the 9thgen Civics.

Only on the ones from Amazon is it noticeable that the H is every-so-slightly raised. As for the rest, if they are raised I cannot tell from the naked eye.

hows the curve on the emblems?

I'm not sure what you mean. They're all the same size, with the exception of ProCivic's rear emblem.

That's ultimately up to you. If you want my opinion, I'd recommend steering clear of the emblems from Amazon. Anything cheaper than $100 is probably suspect.

It is. I mentioned that fact in the ProCivic post.

jasonandre, even though I'm not a fan of these emblems I've gotta say you've done an amazing job of providing information to those who are looking to add the JDM emblems to their Civics!
Thanks for going the extra mile to help everyone on this forum! :1:

what webby said, mine doesn't sit flush in the front, does any of these sit flush? I want a new one asap!

All of the front emblems are slightly curved at a small angle. I don't have a protractor, but I'm assuming it's no more than 3 degrees.
The rear emblems are flat.

Images below are not at equal scale, but they show you the shape from the sides.

your amazon emblem looks more curved than the other 2.

Agreed. The curves on the corners appear more drastic.
There are sections on the Amazon front emblem that appear almost straight, which you can see inbetween the green arrows. The ProCivic and CorSport front emblems don't have any straight areas like that.
