Inspire/Honda Logos

Okay, I'm a newbie TL owner, so please don't kill me for asking these questions! I've been perusing this site for a couple of weeks now and noticed 2 things that have me a little puzzled
The first being the replacing of Acura emblems with Inspire. Is Inspire strictly a manufacturer of aftermarket performance parts?
And what's up with replacing Acura emblems with Honda ones? Isn't Acura supposed to be sort of a step up from Honda, like Lexus is to Toyota?
Again, please excuse my ignorance. Just really curious. Thanks for any input.

INSPIRE is wut the TL is called in Japan. In asia, there is no "Acura", so the same exact car over there is called a "Honda Inspire" or "Honda Saber"...changing the acuras to hondas is doing a JDM conversion, and since its the same car, u cant say that you are "downgrading" the car.
do a search for more info

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of the Honda Inspire. So what you're actually doing is just makin' the closest version to the Japanese car, which the average American will never get their hands on. Now I understand. Thanks!!!:wow:
