The 6th gen accord emblem is too small. The 7th gen is the same size as the jdm one for the '02-'03, but the holes will not line up.
If you're gonna do the conversion, then do it all. Don't half ass it.

I N S P I R E sounds cooler than TL.
The "A" badge looks cooler than the "H" badge.
Simple as that.

I gave Robb my answer understanding he has already purchased the I N S P I R E badge and will do atleast the A C U R A to I N S P I R E conversion if not more. I really don't consider it ricy because it isn't putting a SI badge on a regular Civic, a Type R badge on a regular Integra, a Type S badge on a TL-P, or a GT badge on a 6cyl Mustang. Rather, it is not putting up a facade that the car is higer performance than it is. TL and Inspire are synonymous where as the previous examples are upgrades.
I don't get it, we don't live in Japan, so why should we pretend we do by doing the JDM conversion? What's next the Japanese silverware conversion forks to chopsticks?
No disrespect to the people who have done the conversion, it looks unique and has a certain appeal, it just does not appeal to me. You are certainly entitled to do what you want with your $30K investment (if you bought the car new). It is just not for me.
