JDM Conversion Opinions?

So, I want to do a JDM conversion on my 02 TL. I was thinking rebadging the rear to Saber, but leaving the A emblem, and then getting a Saber front grille but changing the H to an A. Either that or getting red Honda badges for the front grille and rear. Not sure exactly what I want to do, just want to see how other people feel about it.

Its all what you want, as long as you know that no Saber or Inspire had red emblems. Thats a Civic thing. I kinda feel like if you're gonna do it, it should be all or nothing.

Lol, I definitely wasn't planning on calling it a Saber if I rebadged it as one. Just thought it would be interesting to have. Probably won't do red badges, I was leaning more towards leaving the rear A and putting a new A on the front grille rather than the H if I get a Saber grille. Never was a big fan of the H.

Definitely go all the way or don't do it at all. It's redundant to change badges if you go half way, plus it makes no sense to have an Acura Saber. I also don't think you can change the front saber grill H to an A. The shapes are very different. Big reason why if you do the inspire conversion, you get the wings and H rather than just the H.

Doesn't look right at all. The proper badge is supposed to be the bubble type. If the regular A is stuck into the are it will look sunk.

Does anyone know where I could find a red A badge for the my front grille? The Type R Acura badge I had on my integra is too small.
