01-03 CL Type S Emblem Ugly?

I am helping my friend remove his Type S badge and 3.2 CL off of the back of his car. We will leave the A C U R A on and the Acura symbol.

I love the name "Type S" but I think the badge is ugly. Is it just me or do you guys feel the same way?

If he wants to sell his Type S emblem, you've got a buyer right here.

LOL, i love it. "Damn thief stole my fucking type-s badge, wait... hold on a sec. Hmm, that actually looks pretty damn good. I think i'll keep it like that."

I also would go type-s badgeless(along w/ 3.2cl) just makes the trunk look better imo. I'm still wondering if i'll ever debadge the a c u r a. Cant decide if i like it sooo much that i should.

Has anyone tried any different placements on the trunk with the type-s badge other than the places we've already done? I was trying to think how it would look if the badge was directly below the ( /\ ) symbol, or centered on the bottom of the trunk, or bottom corner. Maybe beside one of the front fenders?

yeah the trunk looks way better with the "3.2cl typeS" taken off of the top corner. more symmetry. and without the A C U R A, the trunk is too bulky imo. i put a type s emblem i bought in the lower right corner like the guy above, better spot? who knows...

then my buddies saw it and were like where the NOS sticker? they didnt know it was form the acura factory, so back to original question, it can be kinda cheesy, but to us, its almost a cult.

I'm getting A-Spec badging for my Legend. BUT its b/c it stands for Alperovich-Spec! since I've built my motor for it, painting it myself, and have plans laid out for building a custom F/I (S/C) setup for her, so once its all done, then do it. oh also i'm doing custom interior stuff plus she has a tuned racing suspension and I've put the last 2 years of my Alperovich blood sweat and tears into her.

I like the badge. Makes it clear you aren't driving a CL-P.

ok sorry? see, it is almost a cult over the little "type-s" badge and everything that comes with it, sorry i didn't have enough money to get a true type-s...only a P and the expensive mods over time [vs. buying a type-s all at once]. in fact i am faster than a stock S BARELY!! it was proven already...

speaking of segregation, i always here the same shit on here, so i guess you guys are doing the same shit to me.

oh, but my sarcasm is a different story...
