After doing some searching for better prices (retail is $75ish). I found a pretty good deal someone mentioned on acura-tl. Someone's friend said his friend, a parts manager at an Acura dealership will hook people up for $43.75 plus shipping, and he quoted me about $7 shipping. Not bad, let me know if you want to get in on the deal. I asked about a GB and he said that's the lowest price.

I may be getting them or paint mine, not sure.

 

Do you have a pic of one? Never seen black chrome before

 

accsuperstar's

 

OK...I'm retarded...I've seen his in person and thought it was a carbon color.....
Needless to say, I'd be interested!

 

Hmm...nice. Does it come with the "TSX" as well or only "TL"?

 

mmm. that's yummy but i have a bigger trick up my sleeve

 

yeah, those are nice looking. id be interested, just for the A tho

 

warning you will need to dremel 2 tabs off and apply double sided adhesive to the emblem.

 

the kit comes with:

1) smaller "A" for the TL front
2) larger "A" for the TL rear (the one I used)
3) "A C U R A" like seen on the previous gen TL's
4) "3.2 TL"

 

acc, not you if you noticed but your license plate numbers are showing

 

yea but i cant do anything about it since xizor put that post up...

 

ok fixed, i didn't know u went back and photoshopped them later

 

haha cool thanks

Looks different w/ ACURA across the back. Not my style, but to each their own. You should just go w/ the "A" emblem.

 

hey if you are putting acura on the back what are you doing with the black chrome acura emblem cause if you are not gonna use it i would be interested in it

 

pretty cool man. i like just the "A" symbol by itself, but original i must say.

i wonder if dabuda would be interested in buying the "A" from you if you didn't use it.

 

i'm definately selling the rest after i decide which to put on. might not be soon however

 

A couple more pics of the emblem process. When you take off the stock chrome rear A, there are 2 plastic holders that stick off the body. I removed them so whatever I put on will be flush.

Use a flathead screwdriver to pry up one side of the rivets, but don't press too hard, its easy to break them. After pulling up one side, I slid a set of angled pliers under the edges, and as you squeeze the pliers it pulls the rivet out. Bad explanation, I know.


Remove them by pulling on the inside (I believe) edge and it pops out. Then slide it out towards the inside.


Lastly unscrew the screws and take out the holders


Push the plastic parts out from the back


Put something in the holes so water doesn't leak in though, I'll probably seal mine with some silicone.

 

And a couple more pics of the black chrome emblems. I wanted to do the ACURA, but I test fitted it once again and it didn't look good from a distance to me.



I think I like a central focus that an emblem provides. the ACURA just makes the back look big, its hard to explain.

 

and FYI, I'll be putting the A emblem on and selling the rest probably on A-TL

 

would you be willing to sell me those?

 

nah, I'm trying to keep all my OEM parts in case I ever go back to stock. They're like $2.50 from Acura each though, dunno why. Is there any use for them?
