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

I think the a-c-u-r-a only looks good with the A too

I meant to say i havent seen it without the A but with the a-c-u-r-a. by the way, how much would the second gen. acura letters run me at the stealership? ive been meaning to head out there for about 6 months now.

That's Katana's whip when it was on bags, def a panty dropper

He had by far one of the cleanest whips ever on this forum
