Your doesn't look to bad from the back. If you are going to rock the Inspire emblem thought I would debadge the Acura and the 2.5TL take out the A and put an H there.

Taking the 2.5 off doesn't requiring painting anything. It took me an hour of carefully "slicing and sawing" back and forth with dental floss behind the emblem. After you remove all the glue from the paint all you need to do is buff that area so it looks normal. I believe that just about any Honda logo will fit into the holes.

^ Or 5 minutes with some Goo Gone, and a grocery twistie-tie. The closest one is a 96-98 Civic one, IIRC.

I would def take off the 2.5TL & Acura emblems if you're going to go with Inspire.
What size wheels did you have on your first TL?

H from the 00' Civics. Here's the part number:

#75701-SK7-040 ... EXACT fit. Pegs from the H will line up perfectly with the holes on the trunk.
