u may think this is childish...

...but i still think superman is awesome, and since my baby is incredible, i felt a superman badge would fit her. if only i had a supercharger =/

i just have to wax an polish where i removed the original emblems


i kno its a little big but its all i could find




i have one more of the same emblem and i want to do the same in the front to balance it out but im reluctant to take off the last Acura emblem on the car. what do u guys think? i kno its pretty thick but i'd like ppl to c the superman emblem in their mirror right before i pass them =)

Personally, I'm not a fan at all. But to each, his own. Two things though:

1) The rear emblem looks slightly crooked
2) If you have done the rear, you might as well do the front.

Well, since you're going the superhero route, you gotta do it proper. Get a big vinyl sticker S and plaster it onto your hood. To finish it off, find a long blue curtain or similar fabric and affix it to the underside of your sunroof glass. Now, when you are about to pass someone, tilt your sunroof open and watch as your blue superman cape flaps in the wind!

The Superman eblem is more fitting to be placed on our tranny; it epitomizes the superman ideal.

If youre intent on doing it just leave the one in back..We might have to start calling you baby Shaq, since he always has some kind of Superman symbol in his whips.

The only cars I ever saw that looked good with a Superman S on them belonged to Shaq. I saw MTV Cribs where they went to his house in Florida and he had a Benz and a Ferrari that had the S logo on them - from the factory. Take them off before the sun fades your paint and your stuck with them. I liked Batman growing up but I have no immediate plans on making my Acura into the Batmobile. Although I would not mind having some of those Bat gagets on my TL-S.

Superman emblem DOESN'T even look good on Shaq's cars.

I think an emblem would look better than a sticker.

No offense but i believe, SHAQUILLE ONEAL is the only one that should be putting custom superman emblems/sings custom made onto all his expensive ass cars he owns. Havent you seen MTV Kribs, his bed has the SUPERMAN Sign on it and so do all his cars almost.

I think the Superman emblem is too big. Maybe go with a subtle S - like the size of the type-S emblem or one that's tinted black/red. It keeps your car looking more clean.

I love the plate frame btw.

My guess:

1) U removed the "A" only to find u have have two little holes back there.... and said "fuck"

2) U removed the emblems, looked in ur pocket and realized what u thought were benjamins were actually hamiltons.

Just fork over the money and shave them damn holes.

If you leave the 'S' on the car, you might invite vandalism. There's a lot of haters out there.

The front grill actually looks pretty hot.....I wouldn't do it permenantly, but it looks hot to rock to a meet or something. The back sticker looks gay....

its not crooked, the picture wasnt taken at a straight angle. if you notice, the trunk lining is off meaning that the shot was tilted to the right.. but yeah its a good look but whatever floats your boat

OK, let me get this straight: you won't put a sticker on your car, but it is ok to put an emblem, that looks just like a sticker, on your car.
