japanese logo
it would look dumb...no disrespect intended but with all the ricers with those stupid stickers of japanese and even chinese characters (they probably don't even know what it means, probably says "i'm a dumba$$) the idea of putting these characters will only serve to cheapen your car.
besides acura isn't even recognized anywhere in the world besides here as a marquee.

well....i know probably know that it means, because i'm studying Japanese, and I'm fluent in chinese. I good thing is that i'm not paying for the sticker, someone is hooking me up with some. How would the acura logo look on the small window on the back door?

I chose the Inspire badges just because that's the name Honda uses along with Saber and I don't buy into the marketing crap that created the name "Acura" I took out my acura "A'" emblems in the front (mugen grille) and replaced the A in the back with the Honda 'H'

Its your car do what you will, i think it will look ok if it is small enough. But on the inspire thing. You pay $30000 for your acura, because it is entry level luxury and it's not an economy or mid level car. By putting Honda all over it, you don't cheapen the car, but you cheapen the image. The reason i didnt get an accord is because i wanted something a little more "luxurious." People will think your car is a phony, or an accord. Nothing against accords, i love them, i was going to get a coupe, but decided on the TL instead.

I'm not sure if it was intentional but either way I don't like it.

Acura in Japanese letters
Hello, friends in the USA!
Writing from Japan.
I am an owner of Saber and I have tried to make "Acura" name in both Japanese Katakana and Hiragana charactors.
Well, I like Acura in English better.

They do say Acura. But if anybody actually wants to put this on their car
, use the katakana one. Since "Acura" is not a Japanese word or name, it should be written in katakana.
Katakana is the phonetic "alphabet" used for for anything thats a non-Japanese foreign word/name or a sound effect...basically.

Even though the name is developed in Japan, it is written in English letters.
For example, HONDA CAPA, TOYOTA ALLION, NISSAN STAGEA, SUZUKI KEI, DAIHATSU STORIA etc. etc.
