Totally shaved trunks, or leave the A

What do you guys think of completely shaving the trunk? I have seen some pics where the trunk is totally shaved and I like it when it has the spoiler, but then there is the vain part of me that wants people to know its an Acura and not some other piece of junk... What do you guys think? Right now I have it just with the A.

i'd keep the A, but if you do end up shaving it, go get the A-C-U-R-A thing from a second gen. cl or tl and stick it on there. looks too plain without anything

Leave the A, it makes the trunk look better. The only way shaving it completely is if you accent the trunk with other things like a lip, wing, or body kit
