i want to debadge my car and i need to no how to do it, also is it illegal? thanks

 

Many threads on this. Do a search.

And no, its not illegal.

 

welcome to the club nitehawktsx67

 

Maybe Acura should have a no cost option like BMW where you can order it debadged.

Biker, who lives in an area where many higher end cars are debaged (sometimes cause they don't want to advertise an MB S600 and other times cause they don't want to advertise a BMW 518).

 

Personally, I like a debadged S600 or 760Li because it shows class not to flaunt your wealth. People who know cars will know what you're driving but it's a guess for everyone else.

Because there's only one form of TSX here, it doesn't make a lot of sense from the stealth aspect, but I still think it looks nice and clean. It's a free mod and easy to reverse if you want down the road.

 

Well having done this mod to my car, id be more then happy to help.

For one, its easiest if your in a hot location weather wise. If you are, park your car in direct sunlight and let it really heat up.

If your doing this in the winter, like i did, park your car where you can bring a hair dryer to the badges.

Heat each section one at a time, and slowly take a long string of dental floss and "floss" the badges off. Apply heat to the areas to have it come off easier.

After the badge comes off, good chance your gonna have adhesive still stuck on your car. So it's best if you get some bug/tar remover or another type of adhesive remover and remove the remaning bits.

Afterwards, wash the area, dry it, then apply a coat of wax.

It should take about 15-20 minutes.

Best of luck

I've never been able to tell.. but are the badges applied from the factory or at the dealer/prep centre? Probably better if it was never put on in the first place.

 

i'm going to assume factory

 

For our car, Factory, since ive seen some dealers stick a sticker on there... just do what RMatic said...it works great...personally I used some Fine hand polish and some bug and tar remover and all the juck was gone...looked good...eventally rebadged it as a euro R but yeah...looked good

 

from my experience, just do it soon after you get the car and use a hair dryer, dental floss and lots of patience. I had my car debadged in about 15 minutes and all the goo came right off with no evidence that there had ever been a badge there.
