I was just wondering were i would go and what the cost was like to get a few things off my trunk.

 

shave off the emblems? you can do it yourself. use floss and hair dryer.

 

yes dental floss and goo gone are ur friends. the only think you shouldnt shave is the "A" emblem cuz it has 2 holes.

 

thats why he asking where to go shave it.. you dumb @ss. lol haha

 

actually he never mentioned the big A emblem, so i assumed he was going to get all the other emblems off, so did ray. cumbreath

 

well... you to are ricers

ray with his fake turbo horns and you with you big stickers and the engine loom form pepboys..


lol wut ever floats ur boats.

 

boy boys.......stop fighting!!

 

its will be hella expensive cus it has to be bondo strengthen sanded and then primed and repainted.....(to the whole trunk) but atleast 300

 

Before.

 

after.

 

looks tight

 

dam 300 just to shave off 2 little holes.......:wow:

 

so I can take off the "A C U R A" and the "TL" myself? If this is true could someone please just give me a brief how to? thanks

 

"Search" is your friend:

thanks andy, I tried a search, but on here searching for something specific can be quite a challenge

I did realize that depending on what you are looking for, searching under Emblem, debadge or Acura sign brings up a lot of irrelevant stuff.

I did it under "floss' Go figure.

 

What exhausts are those?

 

Thermal R&D axlebacks.

 

I've seen someone here(?) shaved off their doorhandle. How would that work? i mean like how you open the door from the outside. I know they have some kind of pop up device but i still want to find out more about it. It looks so cool and i wanted to have it done on my 03. How much it would cost?

 

Bottom line? It would cost a ton of $$$. Shaved door handles mean you'd be opening your doors via remote and must have at least a motor in the driver door to pop it open. This project would cost soo much $$$, that it would be silly to do it unless it was strictly a show car. Imagine if your remote ran out of battery? In addition, you wont be able to open up the door for your "lady friend" unless you have BOTH doors wired and on seperate signals (worse is if you have 4 peeps in the car). How ghetto would that be :toothless you would have to run up to your car before people got there...open up your door via remote...then go inside and unlock the doors...only for you to have to manually open each door since the peeps outside cant get in. Bottom line...this project is not for everyone. Better off getting yourself a complete performance upgrade.

 

Additionally, in some states, shaved door handles is illegal.

 

I had it done and i'm not sure if I like it.

 

It looks very clean, yet, it looks empty or incomplete.

 

i also heard you cant run your car at moroso or places like that, without door handles. is this true?

 

Chris, it looks good. But I know what you mean. It almost looks TOO plain. I like edgalang's w/ACURA only. Maybe you just need that or the INSPIRE logo.

BTW: That ugly ON-Star antenna is the reason why I didn't buy my '03 w/Navi.

 

I did it today with a hair dryer and floss, was so easy, a hell of a lot easier than the headlights to clear. Looks great i think, ill put up some pics when my mom gets back from florida with the camera

 

Well IMO the antenna doesnt look that bad. I just think you were too cheap to get it.

But I will tell you this, I get sooooo many more looks now. This kid in a Mustang almost crashed his car staring at mine the other day. So I may leave it. I'm confused.

 

BTW Edgalang,
Why were you redoing the rear end anyways? Accident?

Looks great though!

 

I had a rear end accident so I asked the bodyshop NOT to reinstall the badges when it was getting fixed.

sssick: I dunno...I had it completely debadged for a day then decided to change my mind in the last minute. If I were you I'd just keep it the way it is. BTW...I think I'm starting to like the little antenna...but maybe because I'm envying your flush spoiler.
