think anyone would mistake a debadged TSX for a TL? :P

I'm planning on taking off the ACURA and TSX badges too. Just wondering what method you guys used? Pry off and clean? Or is there an easier method?

From what I've heard, a hairdryer applied for about 10 minutes does the trick, then clean with Goo-Gone. But I don't speak from experience, so do so at your own risk.

some people had a lot of luck removing it in 10 minutes and others have spent an hour. I spend an hour. I would recommend bug remover as others on the board have said it works very well.

Double up some floss and take the emblems off. Then spray the adhesive with bug remover and rub it off. RUBBING ONLY! Might have to repeat the spraying and rubbing a few to many times.

Good Luck!

i went out on a sunny day, took some dental floss, and basically flossed the emblems off, it took 5 minutes, the residual glue, i used bug and tar remover, forgot the brand, it's in a big yellow spray can.

i touched up the wax on that area too, bug and tar remover is pretty harsh to the paint. and yea, it's easier if the adhesive is a little hot (it gets soft). and i also did it when the car was new, so the adhesive came off really easy, the longer you keep the emblems on, obviously the longer it will take to come off. but it's easy.

Is it just me (this isn't a bad thing), or does the TL w/o the "Acura" and "TL" badges look a lot like the previous generation A4/S4 from the rearend?

You made fun of my name cause it sounded like a derogatory word in vietnamese, Qui, well it turned out I was vietnamese so I understood. I'm sure you remember now ..lol .. its all good man.
