I'm kind of in between right now...I would want the Inspire badging just for the shock factor of people who don't know what a Honda Inspire is. If I did anything, I think I'd leave it as the A with the Inspire badge. Just my

Yeah right now I only have the A, and I think I'm leaving it as that. Its bad enough that alot of people don't know what kind of car it is But I do kind of like the whole Inspire thing. It does kind of remind me of those Chevy/GM trucks that put Escalade badges on though, but the Acura/Inspire things different than that because they're like kind of the same thing.

Edit: sometimes I need to shut up.

I like the JDM Inspire look. Makes the car not so ordinary and makes it different from the norm.

personally i think the H lowers the "bling factor" of owning the TL , yes its made by honda , but acura is their luxury Line, if you want the H in america i say get an accord, putting the inspire emblem is the only thing i would even think about doing, then again if you are into that whole race theme , or JDM theme then you gotta go all out, so i say hans look at the big picture and if you really want the JDM theme slap those H's on, if you want the luxury look then i would keep it acura.

No "H" in the rear at least. I do like the "H" on the grill though.

Nice pics, dude.

IMO, an Inspire/Saber is a TL with right side driving. not just a couple of badges replaced. nevertheless, still looks cool, it's all the same family.
