Yeah H/A didn't make WDP for 2G TL/CL, only TW, I call it eggshell. Why would you want to put H emblems and such on your car? Isn't that in the language of G.W. Bush, ricerfication? The reason that the Acura nameplate was started is because H/A wanted to make a luxury car that competed with European brands (mind you, Acura came before Lexus and Infiniti). It is part of the idealism of most Americans that something cannot simply BE better than a similar product, it must also SEEM better and therefore be marketed better, hence the upscale "Acura" name.
In most other parts of the world where people are not as critical of product perception as opposed to product performance, Acuras are still Hondas...

2. like you said basically, acuras are still hondas. in japan, the ua4/ua5 is almost exactly identical, yet it's the honda inspire/saber. to me, the grass is always greener on the other side. so while people in japan crave usdm stuff, people here crave some jdm goodness. if youre proud of your acura emblems because it represents a higher standard of honda here in the US, by all means run em proud. but for me (and others im sure), i have no problems saying that honda can make a quality car regardless of what countrys market theyre in... and to top all that, having a little jdm goodies on the outside to set my tl apart from the rest is a nice fun touch too.
