inspire badging

i know this has been talked about before but mostly when someone asks about the badging, it just ends up as an argument of whether or not to go JDM so.. my question is, for an 01 TL can I use honda accord "H" badging for the front and trunk or will it look weird, or have fitment issues? i finally got my badge today in the mail after waiting a month and a half for it..

Check out the two pics in this thread. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...hlight=inspire Just search for more. Personally, when I debadge I am keeping my "A" and putting on the Inspire and 32V emblem. I think it looks good as $hit like that from what I saw on this board.

Lol yeah it is pretty much what you want to do with your own car. You will have to drive in it. Its all about personal preference.

Yes they are. The pins that go where the hole in the trunk (to 'secure' them in place) are spaced differently. You could file them off (if you bought a USDM "H" badge) but I'm not sure if it will cover the hole behind them.

Why do a JDM conversion half-ass to save a couple of bucks? The badging (if you look at some of our sponsors) aren't that much different than the OEM price of the USDM Acura badging.
