Hey acurazine I have a 2005 TSX in Carbon Gray Pearl, simple intake mods, getting a-spec suspension soon, etc. etc.

I was originally looking into getting an a-spec badge like this:

a-spec badge underneath the taillight

Unfortunately, I'm not about to spend hundreds of dollars on an a-spec badge, as I found out was basically the only option. So as an alternative, I've been looking into other "performance" badges for the TSX. I want to stand out but not look ricey. My car is clean, the only other exterior modifications I have are an M3 style lip spoiler, paint-matched outer grille trim, and chrome center caps.

The three badges I've been looking at are the euro-R badge, the Type-R badge and the Type-S badge.

I'm leaning towards the Type-S badge because I'm not rebadged so euro-R makes no sense and I feel that Type-R is a little too "stereotypical ricey".

Anyways I'd love to hear peoples opinions!

 

no badge.

the aspec badge is silly too.

 

On an 11 year old car, what do you think the chances are of a debadge leaving discoloration underneath the "tsx" and "acura" badges?

 

highly likely.

 

well, thats only if you want to remove them....your original post makes it seem as if you are adament on a badge.

thus its only my opinion that you dont add one.
now, if you want to remove them...there wont be a big difference in discoloration...and if there is, you can take a little cleaner wax and rub it clean

 

but you can do things to help mitigate the discoloration.

like apply a rubbing compound or cleaner wax to the area.

 

oh wait you're in Mass..

also depending on on your color maybe not..


in Cali with the sun beating on a WDP car, there's definitely discoloration


disregard

 

like repaint the car

 

It has been garaged for most of its life except during weekdays when the first owner was working so I'm hoping maybe it wont be too bad

 

Yeah I can see how I was confusing, really I just want to change it up; make it stand out. Whether thats a rebadge or adding a badge doesn't really matter to me as long as it looks good and different.

 

bro, you know I detail right?
bring your car over here. and pay me $300 to make that WDP perfect

 

its really up to you! lol
I de-badged all the badges on my car. i like it!
