Angry My "A" is missing!

That's why I was afraid to buy this car, can't ever have anything nice without someone messing with it. Well I went to pop the trunk and noticed my "A" logo has been peeled off. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Tried autozone already.

you can call ur local acura dealership, but I would just take the acura letters off and the TL letters as well. Just have the acura emblem on there.

Why would you take the other ones off? Just for style?

I'm just pissed that someone peeled it off even if it may only be $15. Who knows, they might even do it again.

theres this pretty clean last gen civic that lives across the street from me. tinted, dropped, nice system, but a bit of a ricer exhaust prob some other mods...

i looked a little closer at his car one day and low and behold i saw an acura logo on it... needless to say ive never spoken to the kid...

I had that happen to me (re: stolen "A" badge in 2001 when Acura 'updated' the trunk logo).

All you can do is just buy a replacement ... should be no more than $25 from your dealership. If so, then order online from places like acuraoemparts.com or other online places.

It looks like there's some glue involved? Or does it just look like that because it's been there for so long (7 years) or the "vandals" didn't remove it cleanly?

its held on with tape, take some goo gone and start rubbing, then get some 3m double sided tape and put it on the emblem and then take the whole thing and put it on the car.

Look at it as a blank canvas. Now instead of being limited to acura your could have like a freakin BMW 3.2tl! Ballin.

I once saw a Nissan Altima with a BMW badge instead of nissan and AMG on the side. LOL, what people do these days.
I have a proximity radar sensor on my Acura so you cant even go near it without it chirping

I don't see why I would have anything other than what came with the car....especially a logo.

But then again, I don't "mod"...I'm strictly stock except for when I'm going to mess with the sounds....how lame huh?
