Stop it. Please...
...just stop putting "Type-S" badges on non-Type-S TL's. No one, but the ignorant, is being fooled. I saw another '04-'06 going down the freeway this morning with the "Type-S" badge slapped on below the "TL" badge. The sad thing is, this particular TL was quite nice otherwise; A-Spec Aero kit, nice wheels, etc.

I agree.. but.. we all know that for as long as there have been special edition caars, people have wanted their cars to look like the SE editions without paying the extras.. seen it all through the 70's

I know it may be frustrating, but as these cars become more affordable the younger folks are going to buy more of them so I guarantee you will see more of this. I wouldn't pay it any mind.

but let me also add that be glad that it was at least the Proper Type-S badge and not some stupid Type R badge that makes no sense what-so-ever.

If I had a RSX I'd put a Honda emblem on it, but the TL is a big no no.

i was driving on the beltway this past weekend and saw a NBP 3G TL behind me.
he switched lanes, and drove up next to me, cracked his window, and gave me a thumbs up.
i was in the process of raising my hand with a thumbs up, until he passed me and i saw a type-s badge on his base TL...so i slowly lowered my hand and looked back at the road in front of me...

I feel like they'd think I'm a crazy person if I wave to them.

I agree! I have an 06 Base TL and I want to get Type S wheels just because I like them; but I don't want people to think I'm trying to pass of my Base TL as a Type S. No way!

i had noticed that this one was clearly modded from about 5 cars back, and it actually looked decent, besides the type-s badge .
my girlfriend was in the car with me and after the guy gave me a thumbs up, she looked over at me and was like..."what the hell was that?"

A friend of mine here in Puerto Rico wants to do the same thing.
I told me NOOOOOO, that is going to make you look like a wanna be type-S.
I hope he doesn't do it.

i know what you mean. most (nearly all) of the TL's i see are stock and driven by older people.

exactly. i'm like..."sorry i'm such a fag" :ghey:
yeah you're only cool if you modify everything imaginable on your TL.
good idea...my fast thinkin' didn't prevail that day. maybe next time.

maybe he was trying to 'personalize it'? ..like perhaps his name is
Steve or Sean or Sid or Shirley...and thought a TypeS badge
would clearly tell the world..."this TL is type Steves"!!!
lol.. just making shiz up...
on the same topic, back in the 90s it was always fun to see the
4banger mustang dorks put on a mis aligned extra pipe along the
bottom rear to make it look like a dual exhaust v8. lol. saw one with the
extra pipe held on with rope and was dangling downwards.

hmm. When I had my base TL I toyed wiht the idea of getting the Type S taillights but I would never, ever get a type S badge. Its just ghey. Anyone who even knows what the hell a type S is knows that yours ISN'T so whats the point ?

So, the moral of the story is Type-S badge is :ghey: and Type-S tail lights, headlights, and front/rear bumpers on base TLs are
