Ugh, I despise imageshack. Pop-ups galore. Other than that the rear looks good.

Well when I first started posting pics a couple of years ago I used imageshack but a few months later I began using photobucket.com and I haven't used imageshack since. And like flickr you get a free account.

You know what would look great? If you smoked out the rear white's and the bottom reflector. Like so:



I also added a beefier exhaust tip and brought it up a bit. Whatcha think?

Debadge?

I don't know - maybe it's just me...
I'm not sure I understand why you'd spend $30K+ on an ACURA TSX, then want to remove ACURA TSX from the car.

Yes, because it definitely looks cleaner.
Though I may be biased because I debadged mine too back when I got it lol.

it may look clean but i think it's retarded to remove the badge. you might as well remove the acura logo. i'd rather keep it as is.

Awww yeah! I debadged mine at the tint shop, immediately following my departure from the dealer.

That's Polished Metal, isn't it? Dammit I love that color, it was 1st choice but not available 6MT Tech at the time and my 07 Si had already been wholesaled, so I took black.

TallGuyNW really won't like it if I put 'H' emblems on it, too. J/K of course, to each their own.

Trust me, if I could remove the Acura logo without having to worry about having the two holes filled, I would.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Even if it's just warm outside, you can use dental floss or I use a AAA membership card or whatever to scoop under the letters and just gently push under them. Just don't crease the front edge of the card and you won't damage the paint.

Afterwards, I roll my thumb across them to create heat and friction...that should get the balance of the adhesive. If there's still some left, you can use goo-gone or WD40 and a soft rag to emulsify it.

I think it looks clean for the 2nd gen but for the 1st gen, I prefer having the emblems on. Don't know why but that's just me. =]

Because you didn't spend $30K+ on a nameplate.
