ACURA TSX'D

What the title says...I haven't had my car for even a month and these things get stolen. Does my warranty cover this?

ACURA TSX'D

Oh yeah, they scratched the trunk area too while in the process of stealing my rear emblem.

I dont think warranty will cover it. My parents had a Merc while back ago, and the back emblem was stolen. The dealer replaced it for free as a courtesy See if your dealer will do it next time you go in for service.

what the fuck? an acura emblem???!??!?!

thats retarded. Sorry for ur loss bro. Take it to a detailer to look at that scratch before your dealer replaces the rear emblem. Itll be alot easier for a detailer to work on the scratch without the thing in the way

Yeah, I just passed by Cerritos Acura about 30 minutes ago and totally forgot that they were closed on Sundays...Anyway, how much are these things anyway?

You can buy Heeltoe's black chrome emblems. I think their pricy though. lol Do you service your car at Cerritos Acura? I brought my car there but man their services are expensive.

ACURA TSX'D

Hmm...I just searched on Heeltoe's site but didn't see the black chrome emblems there...the only service i've done there is their complimentary first oil change haha. Other than that, i never went back.

ACURA TSX'D

Yeah man, they probably use it as a belt clip.

just so you know, im pretty sure all acura service departments will price match. atleast the ones around me in north jersey all advertise it. so if another deal has a coupon for a service, you can bring it into your preffered dealership and get it done for that price.

who the hell would steal acura emblems though?... lol

ACURA TSX'D

People who have nothing better to do in life. Definitely people who don't deserve nice cars.

If I were you, depending on what a body shop's price is.....claim it on insurance.
that way you, if the deductible is less than the body work, you win.

i'm only saying this cuz we dont know the extent of the damage...

TSXKid2010

I bet Ed stole them and put them on his Civic!

Look at the bright side....you got a free debadge!

All joking aside, that freaking sucks. How do the even steal the front emblem? LOL. If it was me, I'd find this as a way to justify black chrome emblems....

I guess Acura is the new Mercedes, so we can all feel good about ourselves... we've made it big in this world.

The emblems cost about 15 dollars each (75700-TL2-A00, 75701-TL2-A00). You might need the two locking nuts in the front. I'm not familiar with how the rear emblem installs, but the part you need is probably still inside the trunk.

Sorry to hear about this, must have been a bummer to walk up to your car and see missing emblems.

ACURA TSX'D

I was bummed for sure, but i'm glad that was it. I mean, it could have been worse i.e. keyed the car, broke into the car etc.

ouch, i say just get a replacement and call it a day

Where were you parked? If it was a public parking lot, you could try getting some camera shots of whoever did it. Could also file a police report but chances that they'll find these guy are slim unless they do it a lot in your area...sucks though man

Yesterday afternoon I saw a '93 Honda Prelude w/ and Acura emblem on the trunk. It was in northern Virginia so I doubt it was yours, but apparently it isn't cool to have a Honda when you can be rollin in and Acura!
