The only reason those badges are back there is for free advertising for the manufacturer. I can understand not wanting to be a mobile billboard for Acura, but I will probably keep mine (the caliper logo appeals to my engineer side).

It's your car, of course but what exactly is the point of taking the badge off? Most folks (except those that really don't know or care about cars at all) will still know it's a Honda/Acura TSX and so many of them will wonder if someone stole the badge. Others will think it just looks silly. My .02.

If I shave the badges I can just say yes and not have to explain that it's a TSX, the other new Acura.

Yep. Use a hairdryer to heat it up and then use some fishing line or some dental floss to remove it from the car. Be sure to put a good coat of wax where the badges were and you're done.

I found out yesterday that the Euro-R has LSD.

Leave it on. Debadged are for cars that are fast as hell or at least fast. it comes from the German cars on the autobahn. They take off their badges (factory option) as you don't know if it's a S600 or S320 (for instance) passing you.

I've seen reverse rice. I've seen GS 300s with 400 badges. 525s with M5 badges. Hell I saw an old E 320 with a M5 badge. I was like WTF???? I've seen Type-S badges on ever car ever made.
