red emblem
and a

Green/Sliver
and a Green/Gold (couldn't find a picture for this one)
I like the Red one for my hood but I want to know the the reason for the red is before I get it.

no one has an answer...come on you people are losing your edge <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I haven't been able to find a reason for the different colors either. &nbsp;I'm sure you know the difference between the K and Q emblems, but the colors seem to remain a mystery. &nbsp;At least to you and I.

im guessing it has something to do with silvia j's k's or q's
i bet that green one is q's because it kinda looks like a q wrapped around the s
i think k is an sr20det, q's and j's use sr20de
j's are base model silvias

[silviaguy]

Ok, so if I put the Red badge on my car its cause I have a SR20DET motor right?

[BlankFlip]

well, they're both for s14's, the red one is for an s14 silvia k's, and i'm thinking that the black one is just a variation of it made for like the 97-98's possibly, there is also a green one like the black one for s14's. an s15 emblem looks like this, which is different than the 2 shown:

I'm so sorry, you're right. They should be for the zenki and kouki.

Q's actually had a Q on the shield, if i remember correctly. &nbsp;The different colors were just for different paint schemes i think.

since we are on the topic, i have no idea what J's and Q's and K's are. &nbsp;i have an s13, i know there are 2 different badge for the trunk, one's a K's and the other a lightning symbol, what do each of these mean?

[silviaguy]

Ok guys that this help a lot looks like I am going to buy the Red one. &nbsp;Also I also would like to know what the K,Q, etc. mean?

[zephyr]

k=kings
q=queens
j=jack
jack is base model q is mid model and k is top of the line model

[silviaguy]

I see thanks

[BlankFlip]

also:

k's - turbo version w/ sr20deT
q's - non-turbo w/ sr20de
j's &nbsp;- non-turbo as well

[240meowth]

so, wha's the sqare lightning symbol mean on the back of a s13?

man that is one thing i really love about things from japan, they all have like these little knick knacks that make things that much cooler. &nbsp;they do it in the anime's, video games, cars everything and it's neat how everything ties into eachother, like they name the top model K for king. ingenious!

[240meowth]

somebody, answer my cry!!! there are 2 type of badges on the trunk of the s13, one is big circle inside is &quot;K's&quot;, the other one is just a trapazoid w/ a lightning inside, what does the trapazoid one stand for?

[kitoro]

the K's = King
the trapezoid w/ the lightning .. i have no clue. never seen it b4!
if you have a pic, it'd help!

[wav399]

The ellipticle one with Ks' goes on the rear door panel (after the door and before the wheel). &nbsp;So where does the shield with Ks' go? &nbsp;And never seen the lightning in the trapezoid. &nbsp;We need pictures.

[vancouvers14]

the lightning bolt is for s15's

[BlankFlip]

possibly confusing it w/ an s15 or a particular skyline emblem???

[KoukiS14]

The lightning bolt is a stylized &quot;S&quot;

Anyway. . I have the green / gold / silver hood bage on my S14a. . looked cool cause it matches my green car pretty well... &nbsp; But, a friend has the red badge on his 96. .

We noticed something... his is a larger badge than the one on my car... the smaller badge on my car was meant for 94-96 Silvia. . while his was meant for later 96-98... looks cool tho. . so it's all good!!!

I think I saw the green / gold one on a 270R

i'm getting that trapazoid badge soon, i'll post it when i get it, i bought it off of some guy on this board

I got mad pictures to show, I even got a diagram of where the badges go on the S15 and the skyline emblems, it's just that I can't find a place that supports hotlinking, so when I put it here, it doesn't show up. &nbsp;Anybody wants where I can upload it to?

The red badge is for the '97-'98 S14 Aeros SE edition. Black badge is the same for Js, Qs, Ks Aero or what not.

The '94-'96 S14 uses the Green badge. And if you pay close attention, will noticed that the back of the badge is curved to matched the curve of the '94-'96 S14 hood.

The emblems with Ks, Qs, Js are mounted behind the doors on the side.

[kitoro]

anyone know what the lil emblem on the S14a k's are that are between the door and the rear wheel?
I rarely see a pic of it, but when i do, the pic is blurry.
