Totally debaged

I already took off the A C U R A stupid stickers off and Im contemplating on taking the rest off. The only reason I left the 3.2 CLtype S is because I didn't want people to think I have a CL-P no disrespect to all you Premium owners aight

the back looks best totally debadged WITH a spoiler IMO

and I don't want factory spoiler so, I'm back to this now:


the "s" is on the plate frame --not that it matters :P

Lou, you car looks great now, but would probably look better with just the "A" since you do have the spoiler. Besides, anyone who knows you knows you got the S

yea but wouldn't it look to plain cause I always hated the Benz CLK320 debaged so people would think its a CLK 430 or the S320 debadged so people will think its the S500. you know what Im saying its not like I want people to think the CL is something that its not.
I really thought the Acura spelled out across the trunk was really retarded and no other premium car does stupid shit like that

I know what you mean lou, I used to think it was lower models tring to look like their uppers (ie: S Class). But I learned It has more to do with a clean balanced look. Its not for everyone. You have a nice set up right now, you should stick with it if you like it.

Different strokes for different folks.



I tried the COMPLETELY debadged thing for half a day and decided it was just too plain. As for people thinking that it's just a TLP instead of a Type-S...they are more then welcomed to think that once they try to pass me.

i have done this but moved the A C U R A to the middle of the (A) and the bottom of the trunk, more even IMHO.

Very nice. Wait until you wax it without all the bullshit backthere. It's an absolute joy to see and appreciate the car's lines.

I don't know how much the whole set would be, just the "ACURA" part is like $35. Getting them all painted matching black yould be hot I think, do it so I can copy :P

i think if i did it i would do all the emblems and leave them all on there maybe just keep the s red in type s plus i would have to do the middle of the grill and the front a too, is it possible to re use a template so if i knew someone who had one i could just take off the letters i had then paint them then line them back up with a used template? a-tl.com has the whole gold kit for 116.10 so im sure the chrome is cheaper but if i can re use what ive got ill do that
