ACURA-C

Ok, I didnt really make them. I debadged my trunk. I took the ACURA badge and broke off each individual letter. I took some 3M tape just to free-hand it up on the trunk with my stock "A" emblem. They are not measured or even by any means. I kind of like it, should I go for it? Or leave it plain? Feedback please.....

PLAIN:



Thanks to all!!

Bartman

I like it!

I also like the "smooth" look though. Just debadged mine (with the exception of the emblem).

Katies99CL

it doesn't look bad w/ it on there...it just looks kinda busy.
maybe if you could remove the big "A" and just keep the word "ACURA" in it's place...like the new model CL's have.

but personally, i like it with just the "A" symbol on the back

ACURA-C

I thought the new ones have the A on the back as well. IT's just bigger than our first gens.

Thanks for the feedback. Im still torn between the two as well. I leave it smooth and bare for now.

Bartman

I'm with you!

VXCL

i like just the A its cleaner.

dustbuster4

I like the idea!

Here's what the 2nd Gen badges look like (in gold):

ACURA-C

I like that dust...yours was one of the reasons I tried this out. I just thought if I could use my own letters, I wouldnt have to replace my emblem for the 2nd gen one which is alot bigger. Would save a few bucks too. I wanted to keep the size about the same. That is IF I do it.

I can always try it for a while and then take it off.

Blacura

i dont like how you can see the tape, plus the letters look too spaced apart for the size of our trunk. try it a little closer together and cut the tape so you cant see it and it may look tits

1StGenCL

I have the second gen lettering and i didnt replace the A. It looks ok, i actually have it i just havent gotten around to replacing the A.

ACURA-C

I know the tape makes it look stupid. I just did it for the general idea. I wasnt trying to make it permanent yet. I still have not put them on yet. I tried the letters closer too, Im just so indecisive about it.

Oh well, naked we stay for time being. Sometimes LESS IS MORE!!

ib_jimmy

yeah i think the letter is space too far apart too....it look like its the perfect size tho. I like it!

damond

I like it....it's different and it looks good. You could always take it off when you're bored of it, right? Altough I like dustbuster4's 2nd Gen factory letterings more. It always seems that factory made stuff is always better looking over stuff you fabricate yourself...know what I mean? Must be a placebo affect. But yours look good. I'd go for it.

cor

i think it looks pretty good to me

1StGenCL

Here's the original small A with the second generation lettering

Blacura

and here's a black chrome kit from a TL with closer spacing

ACURA-C

Very nice!

1StGenCL

I love the black chrome and that is a great picture with the buildings. That car is so clean!!! I wonder if there is someway to do my emblems black chrome w/o getting new ones. I really want to paint all the chrome either body color or black chrome

ding069

Yeah, that really is a cool pic. What the hell do you detail with, it looks like a mirror man

Blacura

heh thanks, i use meguiar's gold class...wouldnt even know that there's almost 90k miles on the car by lookin at just the paint

laredo

I don't know what everyone's talking about. I think it looks pretty sweet. Kind of climactic, reminds me of the last scene in space odyssey. heh, nevermind...

Blacura

:wtf:

Blacura

maybe spray tint will work...

ricardo

hmm... I prefer all shaved (:x) but that's cool... different from all the 2nd gen baddgind stuff

ricardo

hehe... I use gold class too. It's for the lazy asses that want to polish and wax in one step

slicky

Blacura

ju5tchi11in

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Bluesman

I like it. Good cross between 1st & 2nd Gen.

Sacramento CL

I like the debadged look myself. That's what I have.
