Default Tomato Elite Emblems

I want to replace my stock H emblems(front grille and rear) with the Tomato Elite Emblems found at koreanautoimports.com.

Has anyone bought these? I was wondering how well they fit the grille and if they actually fit the rear since the only pictures they show are of the grille emblem.

If its a universal emblem, you could probably pretty much get them to fit anywhere. Im sure they go on with just double sided tape.

They do attach with double sided tape but the stock emblems on my 2008 Elantra are recessed into the body a little. So to replace the stock H's, the new emblems will have to be the same size or slightly smaller.
After the first post I actually measured the stock emblem. It was only 130mm wide by 65mm high. So that Tomato Elite Emblem will not fit the stock locations, not even close. mad.gif And unfortunately I haven't found many emblems that are that size. Not to mention ones that I actually like. I guess I'll just have to deal with the stock H emblems.

^ To ditch the "H". I did it with mine too. If you can't find an emblem you like, the next best step is to remove the "H" and paint it body color or another color of your choice.
