still need some modding before the new badge can sit perfectly. what you think?

I like the acura badge much more than the "H". I don't understand why people like rebadging their Acura's to Honda's. I mean you don't see Lexus' slap Toyota emblems on lol

ed_423

wow that is EXACTLY what im doing with my euro grille.


what emblem did you use?

K24TSXSSM

06 rl. I'm still wondering how to fill in the base to make it a smooth serfuce for the new emblem siince the base is curved.

I think the circular border of the A looks kind of odd with the squared background that fit the H. I wonder what an A with the squared border would look like...

Yea look for a bigger "A" emblem if you can, or one that fits the background better. Also, clear your headlights man! those amber parts are an eyesore when your new front end is all dark and aggressive!

ed_423

try 05 RL emblem

Drull

I use the logo from RL 2006. Previous badge was a little bigger and fitment was better ... But, it was stolen, and from what car it was, I do not know

Thats so f**cking crazy. Lost of german guys sell their grill and try to get some sport grill, mesh and so on. And you guys over there in USA are so crazy about the euro grill. I will never understand this. Must be in a therm like "You will always want to have the other guys stuff" right?

Was the same thing with my accod coupe CG2. Also lot of USA CG2 drivers want our german grill, once a shipped my old one over there. And the german CG2 driver were always trying to get a type R grill or something like that.

Crazy planet

But nonetheless the grill looks great. Im not sure to keep my self modded grill you can see in my thread. Im thinking about painting my left OEM grill in black with an white H emblem.

I like how the first one fits. To bad u don't know which car it came from. But you have to tell me what u use n methods to make the new base for the A.

hOnDaBeAsT_4life

The grill looks exactly like the german/euro accord grill. I still have one for reserve. On ebay.de there is one selling right now.

Remove the H, put an A, paint it black, DONE

I've seen an Acura CSX (looks like a slightly tweaked Honda Civic) in Surrey, BC that had a similar sized A on its grille to the TSX (at least it looked similar in size). I wonder if the badge off of that would fit?

ed_423

Drull, I check my messages with you from a long time ago (maybe a year?) you said the emblem was from 2005 RL it was 11 cm all around

ed_423

Op, once I get home I'll post some measurement and stuff that drull sent me.

Drull

I thought that it was from RL (my friend have RL05)... but i was wrong its a little bit smaller - about 5-6mm around

Drull

I use plastic and fiberglass

I like your yellow DRL. I'm looking to get some yellow glass paint to do mine.

Mr. NC

Looks good, then again anything is better than the shield grille imho.

SSJoeblow the Yellow DRL's can be done by just getting nokya's they reflect the yellow core onto the housing....alot easier than glass paint lol

ssjoeboe9

^^ I'm gunna paint the actual light bulb yellow. Talk about easy and cheap

Drull

ed_423, current logo is 10,5 cm

ed_423

ohhh, the 11cm one was the best right?

please tell me you're kidding. if that shit melts and leaks into your headlights i will laugh at you

K24TSXSSM

How big is the rear A on the new TL?? I was looking at them n they look pretty big. Wondering if they would fit the front grill

Drull

yes

ed_423

ask someone over there to measure, then report back

K24TSXSSM

i went to the dealership today to look for the emblem and sure nuff the new TL rear A will be perfect fit!! but they want $32 for it so told them ill look around online for a better price.

ed_423

new TL? as in 2012? or any 4th gen?

thanks !!!

K24TSXSSM

2012. Ordered from acuraoemparts.com for $30 shipped. Hope it's the right one.

24boosted

Exact reason why Acura will continue stuggle to be a luxury brand.

K24TSXSSM

update. got the 2012 TL rear badge. gonna do the work when i have some time, but its bigger than the RL

ed_423

Nice! I'd take out red background though!

K24TSXSSM

thats just the backing for the adhesive

jeroplex

where did you get this grill? did you have it painted or plasti dipped?

K24TSXSSM

got it from a member on . he has a couple left for sale.
http://www..com/forums/tsx-classifie...2-grilles.html

and yes it was plasti dipped

ed_423

bump. update?

ssjoeboe9

Whoa whoa staky pants, I pulled my drl fuse. I don't use them anymore. No melting for me. Plus when does paint melt, it usually just flakes off.

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

oicup. but if the paint melts and drips into your housing, how would you flake it out? anyway since you pulled your drl fuse, you should be fine. did you paint them yet?

ssjoeboe9

I haven't painted it, I thought Home Depot would have it or any craft place but it seems like I'm gunna have to order it from ebay. I think its like $5 or something. I get paid this friday so I'll buy it then.

BobbyC

i dont get it either. i prefer the acura badge and the grill over hondas (minus the chrome). it looks classier imo.

why people would rather put a cheaper brand emblem on a car they spend more money on is just strange to me.

i like my acura
