Serious question though- does a completely stock TSX wearing an A-spec badge fall under the same ricey category??

I dont understand why youd want to put the Honda Accord badges on a TSX, Since there is already a "U.S." accord. Its not nearly as neat or clever as changing to "Integra" badges on a RSX or Altezza badges on a Lexus IS.

I agree that no one should ever put TSXR on their car, but IMHO, if you take away those small pieces of emblems, what you have left is a nice tsx with the oem kit. As for the wind deflectors, as tacky as they are to other individuals, it is afterall functional (as oppose to some horrendous body kits). I suppose the owner does deserve some kind of contructive criticism, but I didn't expect such extreme responses haha.

At least they debadged the Acura emblem off one side, then just tastelessly tacked an extra emblem on the other since.
![Why Me](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/whyme.gif)
Either: factory badge or debadge! Dont hack and piece together badges! That is just as stupid as me cutting half of my Chevy Tahoe emblem and tacking its pieces onto my TSX. Oh just imagine the stupid possibilities! Z-TSX-71, TSX-HOE, TAHOE-SX, CHEVRO-TSX-71.
![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Maybe I can make mine a super horsepower hybrid! Get Vette emblems for extra horsepower, better yet Lambo! Then Toyota hybrid emblems for great gas milage, and Rolls Royce emblems so I can ride in luxury! Ooooh, just imagine those combinations!

I just noticed the dumpster in the corner of the pic. I want to say how appropriate, but how could I just say to trash a CG like that. Pry the badges off and tack them on the dumpster. Put the wind deflectors on the dumpster too, to make it more aerodynamic.
Hmmm maybe that is what this is all about all along! Aerodynamics! He must have a next generation Comptech super secret supercharger under his hood and he is just maximizing his aerodynamics for the ultimate performance! Damn, should have known it all along. Now I feel really stupid for flaming this car.

Oh so ugly.... TSXR indeedy.... TSXRice! The badges were bad enough, but if you do badges to look cool and then put on the protectors and deflectors, it gets a bit silly. Kind of like the old 1980's engineers with their pocket protectors trying to look cool and live on the edge by drinking tap water.

I completely agree with everyone here --- the 'R' badges on there are ridiculous. However, let me just play devil's advocate for a second...
If the "hate" on this guy is due to the improper use of emblems, why then is it ok for the JDM blokes on this board to rebadge as Euro-R's? The Euro-R sports a K20a (which produces more max HP and has a different compression ratio than our TSX's K24a), is right-hand drive, and is only available in a 6MT. If we were to get really technical here, couldn't one say that the JDM re-badgers are "fakin' the funk" too?
Now... before any potential flamers want to chime in, let me also say that I really dig the JDM look, so I'm not criticizing anyone here on the board. Also, the car in question here is also re-badging as a car that doesn't even exist, so they *are* in different discussions. However, I do want to get some feedback from some of the forum... although it's not quite the same point that CGEarl was trying to make, I do believe there is a "grey" area...

Huge mufflers without full exhaust systems, high wings that have no point, and in this case, a TSX-R badge, are all rice because they are designed to create the impression the car is something it is not, in this case; fast.
I would agree, however, that if the only thing you do to your car is rebadge Euro-R its silly... not as rice, but silly.

Yeah, rebadging your TSX as a "TSX-R" is way sillier than rebadging it as a "Euro-R." (*cough* CCColtsicehockey *cough*) Just another method of trying to convince passersby that you have something that you don't.
