"Type S" license plate frame?
I have an "Acura TL" chrome license plate frame, but I'd love to get a "Type S" chrome license plate frame for the rear license plate. Anyone know where I can get such a plate? The Acura dealer said he didn't have any.

I already did this.
I use the frames available for the late model Corvettes, which are nicely made and do not interfere with the plate bolts.
I ordered up an S badge and Crazy glued it in the center, bottom of the frame. It is subtle and look great, all nice and centered.
The more I look at the S next to the 3.2TL, the more I dislike it - it might as well say Limited Edition!

Well not only do I debadge for cosmetic effect, but I also dont want kids ruining the paint in the process of them jacking the type-S badge off.

i too prefer plate identification over oem trunk lid badges. it's cleaner (for the car lines) and it preserves the "symmetical-ness" (sorry!). if you are only getting those flat chrome frames (similar to the ones with the car name in script), you could always buy a generic one and add stickers that emulate the logos to it. take a clear pic of the tl and type s badges to a sticker store and get them made.

Speaking of license plates, I bought a good quality aftermarket plate holder from International AutoSport, and was frustrated to found out that the plate holder bolts aren't long enough to install the aftermarket holder (grr grr.) Hopefully Home Depot has some longer bolts I can use.
