Where is this A-Spec Badge from?

Hi guys, I picked this up through my Parts team at my local Acura dealer. He wasn't certain where this came from, but it came in a pair. I'm guessing it would go on the side of the car (on the doors by the hinges?)

Thoughts? Think it'd look good on car or too whack?

Thanks in advance!

Most people "debadge the cars"
it gives it a cleaner look.

you want to add a badge, or two.


I say dont do it.
I think it will look odd on the fender or near the door.
Dont do it.

also the rear aspec wheel looks sunken in.

Thanks man, appreciated. Wish I could figure out this A-Spec badge mystery. Searched the web high an low, couldn't find anything but I do recall seeing them before. Just not sure if I should put them on or not...

LOL, funny how that works. I'm thinking I might just keep these -- re: the wheels -- they're 18x7.5 with 225/45/18 tires on them. I have been thinking about spacers, but also been thinking about tossing these and getting Vossen CV3's -- but yeah.. total sinking ship for sure!!!

Possibly -- it had a MFG date of 04/09/10 -- I'm assuming 2010, but heck, any of those numbers could be designated as a year.. so in theory 04 and 1st gen A-Spec TSX perhaps...

I think it looks great as it is

Maybe just lower the front a bit more because it looks higher than the rear.
