looks like you got rear ended and not repaired to original condition, automatically brings down resale value, just like you got rear ended!

Adds more torque(6 - 7). Increase the value of your car.

Also cars behaves better at high speeds as stiletto said.

You should do it, like it totally rocks.

Man debadging is great. YOu get better performance, and better gas milage. It brings up your car's resale value by like 20%.

If You put a BMW emblem on it it'll handle just like an M3!!!!!!

What's all the talk about better handling and gas milage from everyone.. it's just few emblems

If anyone wants to just replace the stock acura emblems and change it to Honda Inspire for the JDM look, click below. (Link to another post... I sell them)

It helps cornering. It's a proven fact that a debaged TL can go 2.4 G's on the skid pad.

DOn't beleive anything these people are saying. To debadge your TL it gives it a sleeper look and more stylish plus since the emblems are molded to give the trunk more downforce they weigh about 75 pounds each so if you take them off you get about a 10hp kick and a whole lot of touque it's a very unknown modification.
