Everytime I see a debagged 4 cyl eclipse or accord with a tin can on the back I think your so lame with your 145 hp car...stop wasting money or mods and just buy the turbo or the V6.
Anyway...u guys think debagging the TLP with mods is lame or not.... or do you think to yourself.."hey go buy the Type S"

 

Not.

I've never thought that.

I think the trunk of all TLs is a bit busy looking with the 3 emblems; Big A, A C U R A and the 3.2 TL. Then the Type S adds even more. It looks better with just the 'Big A', plus maybe the A C U R A.

 

Yeah it looks good if you leave the A or the acura personally i was thinkiing about debading and putting I N S P I R E on the back after i get the kit and paint but still dont know

 

doesnt look lame on the tl. it cleans it up

 

i never liked it till i did it!

 

debaged my 3.2 TL logo, looks great IMHO with just the A and the Acura. I think just the A looks kinda funky bc it's not centered vertically on the trunk lid

 

if i had a civic...id prolly mod the crap out of it too with some cheap ebay parts...

but anyway, debadging the TL is a good idea

 

Well, I think then you debadge and only leave the A it looks like a benz, and it really does if you have an 03, even if you dont get the 03 badge and you can cover up the holes and move it about 1 inch down more....it really looks tight and I'm going to leave the type-S but lose the ACURA and 3.2

 

I didn't think I was going to like it at first but after I took all but the A symbol off I love the look and will not be going back

post a picture

 

here ya go bro, btw it is a TL-S

 

hey jeff, what'd you use to tint your tails?

 

i run with the acura emblem and the ACURA on back, the 3.2TL is off center and makes it look unbalanced

 

be sure to add some V-tech stickers, that'll really set it off.

 

I used the film from rockblocker.com, but not too sure of the % of the tint

 

was it easy? and it wont come off?? and looks perfectly clean even up close?

 

I would say about 6 of 10 on a difficulty scale,the film doesn't like to bend (because of the thickness of the film) around the corner of the tail so a little heat from a hair dryer makes things easier,will not come off, if you stick you're nose right up to it you can see defects (my job) but back up 5' and it looks great. Taking time and having patience is the key.

 

i wish i had the time for all that. i'd pay someone to do that if i knew they'd do a perfect job.

 

Clean it up! I can't believe that Acura went so far as to remove the key hole for a cleaner look, then negated the efforts by clustering up our trunk lid with all those emblems.

Mine currently only has the A and Acura. I don't like the way the A sits by itself.

 

i'm thinkin about debadging and leaving only the A and A C U R A but dont know what to do with my "3.2TL" and "Type-S" (something about me doesnt want to let those go to waste)

 

Mine are just sitting in a bag with my other useless car crap. My brother suggested that I put them on the pop-out tray in the center console above the radio. I test-fitted it, and it's perfect. I might do that. These badges are expensive; I paid for 'em, might as well use 'em.

 

are you serious??????? a 6???? hell thats what i would give for swaping out the tranny well maybe a 7.5-8

 

I gave it a 6 b/c i'm not that good with doing film, maybe you'd like to come up and do it for me next time then it will be a 0 of 10 for me smart guy, oh! and maybe by the time you get here I might need a new tranny so you can do that at the same time

 

and where do i sign up for this? (just the tint, not the tranny)

 

[QUOTE=mezzerTL-S]here ya go bro, btw it is a TL-S

Thanks, man. Great picture!

 

well to tell ya the truth id like to come up to toronto some time

 

debadge the '3.2TL'... it makes the rear look much more balanced imo

 

I don't think it's lame. Just preference. I prefer not to debadge.. But this one came out NICE! Thumbs up!

 

I'm confused. Since all debadged TLs look the same, how can one come out nice and one not? BTW, I like the debadged look.

 

Look me up

 

Not all are the same.

 

ive been contimplatiing doing this mod to mine.

 

Not sure...but I always debadge all my cars...regardless if it's modded or not. (primarily to make it look "even").

 

thats why i do it. to make it look clean. i dont need a bunch of words on my car to remind me what i have

 

I think it's OK to debadge -- it's cleaning it up. But more importantly, it's not pretending to be something it's not (ie Type-R badges everywhere on a Civic when it's a DX model)

 

That's an interesting look. A C U R A is not in the stock location, is it? Looks like it's been moved up.

 

what size tires are on those rims? i'm lookin to get wider tires on my TL-S rims and those look wider than the stock 215/50

 

Debadging is a good idea with almost any car IMO, especially the TL. Too many. I debadged mine completely (except for the A symbol). I just wish the A symbol didn't have the holes behind it

 

No stinking badges!



With 1 stinking badge!

 

and the Holes for the A have been filled
