It should be around 100 bucks to do it. Maybe even less. You can go ahead and order it from MrHeeltoe. He's a great guy to work with and you should be get what you need ASAP as I just ordered some things for the 3G TL for a friend of mine.

no offense but i'm sick and tired of hearing about comments like this on these boards. Whats the point of putting gel in your hair? People do things because they think it looks good. And yes, people do put toyota on their lexus. Ive seen them on SCs, GSs, and ISs. Same thing as when I see skyline badges on a g35 coupe or any other cars of that nature.

i dont think a lot of caucasian americans understand the japanese car industry much and jump to conclusion..
it doesnt matter whether or not your car is an acura or honda, because essentially they are all honda's. and in different countries around the world, a TL is a Saber/ Inspire and the luxury is still all the same regardless of the badging. And as a matter of fact, if anything, the saber and inspire are more luxurious with much more options like backup cameras, cornering lights, front side cameras, bumper sensors, and much much more.
so let people pursue their happiness and individuality, it definitely has nothing to do with downgrading your luxury.
and btw, i can already foresee this thread going down the drain. these type of threads always do.

I think wilp99 knows that an Acura is a Honda, and a Lexus is a Toyota, he just doesn't understand why people do jdm badging. And you guys have explained it very well already.
To answer the OP, check Mr.heeltoe and A&J racing (located in Richmond, BC, Canada). Some emblems are cheaper at A&J, and some are cheaper at Mr.Heeltoe. Mind you though, these badges are rare and you probably won't get them right away when you order.

woah woah woah.. why is everyone hatin on me. i am just asking a question.. and i get called a RETARD. thats pretty adult of you, it was an honest question but if you feel the need to defend yourselves with stupidity, then i guess you win. besides how can anything i said be preceived as thread crapping? i even used the word PLEASE... and all this talk about the jdm scene in the united states.. TOTAL BULLSHIT its the states not japan. have any of you actually been to Japan? prolly not.. just cause you google something and see it on the internet or wikipedia, or youtube doesent make you an expert. try googling a honda car in japan with acura badges on it.. prolly not gonna happen. cause its dumb.. and they are not into the adm scene... and so you know i happen to know alot more about the jdm scene than you think. im currently stationed in the uk and most japanese cars here (about 25% of all cars on the road) are japanese imports..(imported for reliability purposes) your prescious toyota aristo is a piece of shit here.. like the taurus is in the states. some are cool with the TT 2jz-gte motors.. but still very cheap cars. about 1k pounds.. ($1700)... they are crap in japan too, which ive also beento more than almost any of you on this board (deployed there once for 4 months, and tdy there every week of every month in 2005 but hey.. you all go ahead and jump to your conclusions, and call me names (like the adults i know we all are), read too much into what i said (love it when people do that), and then regurgeate it back like im some kind of horrible human being for saying "PLEASE dont take this the wrong way but whats the point of putting honda badges on an acura. im PRETTY SURE (which means NOT DEFINATE for us "retards")no one puts toyota badges on a lexus. but to each his own.. i guess. thanks for the patience and being mature.. and p.s. google sucks..

they actually do put toyota badges on a lexus and so do some infiniti drivers that put nissan badges.

nice story :rollseye:
and you thread crapped b/c the guy asked how much we would spend on the badges..
your glorious answer:
"please dont take this the wrong way but whats the point of putting honda badges on an acura. im pretty sure no one puts toyota badges on a lexus. but to each his own.. i guess."
very helpful...
i can apologize for calling you a retard it was a bit out of line.. but you just solidified you non-importance in this thread by all of the responses to people defending yourself when you made a comment that was pointless to the thread in the first place.
your initial question was why?
well here's your answer... :"Why" doesnt have an answer.. its personal preference.... get over it.

I've actually seen a blue one done into USDM with little acura badges and still having the RHD.. picture is floating somewhere around acurazine.
Legends.. AKA RL is also big over there...
i spy acura badges with RHD

ok so i should just sit back and let people talk about me like im a horrible person, and not say anything. you put your own "crap" into it which was even less helpful than my question. your answer didnt help just as much as mine didnt. did your response have an answer NO.. so please practice what you preach.
$1 THERES MY ANSWER.. AGAIN THATS ONE DOLLAR.$1 im over it .. i love you guys....

says the guy who thinks name calling is immature
it was a perfectly good thread untill you graced us with your presence...
some people dont realize when they are wrong even when an entire thread is combatting against you.. your backing into a corner.. let it go..
when you were proved wrong you started throwing a hissy fit... and now apparently we should bow down b/c you are some kind of professional in the field of acura.. yet you dont know its roots and where it came from... or why people rebadge... do us a favor and just leave the thread alone so some people can get some insight from it...
waits for clever response....

wilp99,
Look at the ages of the people ragging on you for your comment. Then look at the ages of the people who agree with you or don't care one way or the other.
I don't mean anything bad about this, but I think the rebadging desire is mostly an age thing. The young people (kids) on this board are absolutely desperate to do anything and everything to their car to make it different from the next TL they see. They see the JDM thing as being cool and different. That's youth, we all probably had the same basic desires for our cars when we were that age.
Once you get past 30, you probably don't care what your car says on it enough to change it, or you think it's down right silly. I'm older, I'm an American, and I would rather my car say Acura on it rather than Honda or the other names, because I like the Acura name better and think it looksbetter also. Also, here in the US, the Acura name carries more prestige than Honda or the others because that is the way they are marketed.
There, now they can hate on me...

whats the big deal...to each his own..he is just stating his opinion..
he doesn't care for the rebadging...some do..maybe it came out wrong.. but i think that was the just of his original post.

i've actually done quite the opposite sir. i even rebadged my honda saber grille with an A...
my car is NOT JDM at all. i just get sick of people asking the same tired question when a member on here that actually wants to convert his car has to deal with over and over.
people shouldnt have to answer to anybody why they wanna do somethin to their car..
opinions are fine.. but why do you care if he throws an honda badge on there? its not affecting anyone in here but him.
to my knowledge.. your the only one.. so what your point mr maker man?
