This may seem like an odd question, but is there a diagram on how to place the rear badges to original spec? I just picked up my car from the the auto repair place and they put the 3.2CL Type-S badge in the completely wrong spot. When I bring it back for them to fix I wanted to have the specs if possible. Any help???

I’m pretty sure I saw that in the front of the HELM manual, but I don’t have mine anymore.
Maybe someone else can help you.

idiots... thats ridiculous
you should honestly trout slap those bastards for doing it without knowing what the hell they are doing.....

I think the only reason it was so messed up was because they are affiliated with a toyota dealership, so they don't see a lot of Acuras.

I don't have my Helms in front of me, but when I get back to my room I'll post the pic from the manual. It gives you the dimensions you need.

how did u re-attach the badges....3M TAPE?

mclarenf3387

New ones have the tape on them already.

If you have to move them, you will have to use 3m tape.

i figured u had to use 3M Tape...but whats the best stratagy to go about doing this? do they sell it in thick strips so id just be able to lay the badge on the 3m TAPE and cut around it? anybody have any pointers?

Nice Brett... I took out my helms after reading Shawns post, but I hadn't made it to the scanner yet...

honion

Thanks! I hope they don't screw it up again. Are those numbers inches? centimeters? millimeters?

mclarenf3387

Why would you possibly need to know that??


The larger number is millimeters and the smaller on is inches.

where do you get the application guide foam for the " A C U R A "?

honion

I just want to have all the information available.

A replacement letter set has a template built into it to re-attach the letters to the correct places. I don't see how they could have screwed it up.

^^ When I worked at a body shop, we only "replaced" them if they were damaged. Otherwise, the originals went right back on the car. I was usually the one who put them back on. Sometimes i would have to do some research and finding pictures before doing so to make sure I put them back on in the right place. It was a beotch sometimes! One thing is for sure though, I NEVER did what those guys did to honion's car!

Again.... ASS CLOWNS!

I was kidding, hence the tomato smileys.

Were the workers there blind

If I worked at a body shop I would take a picture or something of how the badges were placed before I took them off. However that assumes the place uses common sense.

yeah. who knows what else that's wrong lurks within the panels.
hows about you sell me your type s badge?

6MTpromises

I concur

honion

I wasn't sure what the tomato smilies actually mean!

They said I could wait while they fixed it so I can ask for the badges they take off, but they said they're kind of one time only use thing...I'll let you know and since the other guys insurance paid for the whole job I'll give'em to you and you can paypal me the postage only.

honion

As predicted by myself when they took off the incorrect badges two chips of paint came off with it...they offered to repaint the entire trunk lid...again.

spdy0001

WOW that sucks man.....Sounds like they need some new people working there

sic cl
