Remove "3.2 TL" or not
I am thinking about removing just the "3.2 TL" from the upper left of my trunk. I am definitely going to leave the logo and the "ACURA". Should I do this? Is it hard? Will there be any sticky stuff that will be hard to get off? What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Peter.

shouldn't it be on the right side? 
anyway, it's a personal preference. i like to have my 3.2TL TypeS there, looks cool. if you wanna remove them, it's very easy. put the car under the sun for several hrs until the car got heated up, then use a credit card (visa?) or dental floss to take out the badge. the remaining stuff should be easy to clean. wash the area, put in a layer of wax, boom you are done.
you can use hair dryer at low heat as well

I removed the 3.2TL badge. It looks much cleaner in the back now. It was very simple to remove. I didn' even have to heat it up. I remember someone recommending using a credit card t take of the badge.

I'll definately keep the "A C U R A"... but the 3.2 TL can go. But then I don't know.

I decided to go against everyone's advice and remove the 3.2TL. I love it! It looks so much better without it. Thanks for all your comments and opinions.

You're right, it does look too plain without the spoiler.
Don't forget to post pics of the spoiler and exhausts once you put them on.
