i like it better w/ only the a-c-u-r-a, or w/ it and the type s.

the 3.2cl part is whats ugly.

btw, i'm completely debadged now and i like it.

I have a Nighawk Black, what you are suggesting is to have the ACURA the emblem and the Type S, but get rid of 3.2 Cl?

That was just a PS job someone did on my car.
It really looks like this:

Edit: It is actually all bare but the A symbol these days...

photoshop???

too "knightrider" ish...if that's a word.

I used to have a nighthawk blk.

took everything off except the "typeS" badge.
I moved the acura badge to the front dash....
easy to clean and easy to wax.

whatever you do don't take the A-C-U-R-A lettering off...i took everything off except the emblem (doesn't come off)...it makes the tailights seem too small...at some angles...with the lettering in the middle it makes it look more balanced...just my opinion

I gotta agree.

I did consider putting the chrome 3.2 on the engine cover, but decided against it.

Clean looking is best.

The spoiler adds for sure, I'm not sure why I never got one

I finally got some 20% tints this summer. I guess I was dreaming of a full body kit like the SEMA one, or of the likes...

Just curious...are the badges bolted in thru predrilled holes or are they taped on?

How easy is it to take off the badging? Does it F-up the paint?

heres a good step-by-step of how to debadge:

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=79341

Pappy: all of them are backed with sticky tape, but the "A" symbol has holes so beware of it.

OKCL: as long as the emblems are heated up by heat gun, hair drier, etc., they should pull of pretty easy. Make sure your paint is clean before doing this so minimize risk of rubbing scratches in while getting them off. I polished and waxed the trunk lid after doing this.
