Removing/Moving badges around?

I'm probably going to debadge the car soon and was thinking about maybe putting the 3.2TL badge in another location. I've seen guys on here place it inside their car, but i'm thinking of another location outside the car. Any Suggestions?

Also, what sort of adhesive is used to stick the badges on?

After you remove it... all you need to do is go to the local autoparts store and buy the 3M emblem adhesive. It's a double sided adhesive that holds on moldings and emblems. I paid $11 for a 5 ft. roll. They also have different widths if you need. As for where to put it... I don't think the 3.2TL badge would look good anywhere else on the outside except the trunk. The only think I can think of is if you put it on a license plate frame or something.....

Now... if you were to have 2 Type-S badges... there are several possibilities with that b/c the badge is smaller....

Yeah.. I hear that a lot... that's why I debadged the car the weekend after I picked it up. And I agree... it looks a lot cleaner... with the 3.2TL Type-S the trunk looks off b/c the badges are all to the right... but debadged the A and A C U R A is perfectly centered

I remember seeing a pic of someone's car here around a year ago (I think it was a silver one) where they placed the Type S badge on the sideskirt of a bodykit. It didn't look bad. It didn't look great either IMHO.

At my Acura dealer before I bought my car, they had a fixed up TL that had the Type S badge on the driver side where the JDM stock sidemarker would have been...maybe an inch lower than that...me and my friend thought it was pretty unique and cool. As for me...debaged the CL Type S...
