Debadge
Hey everyone just got a 08 Type S and my friend introduced me to this awesome site! I want to debadge my trunk leaving the middle Acura symbol of course, but I've heard some people say the "Acura & TL" emblem will come off with a dryer, but the "TypeS" badge are screwed in? I would hate to take it off and see 2 holes in my trunk. Anyone know for sure?
Also is there a difference between the 06 & 08 Aspec front lip?
Thanks in advance!

The Acura and TL emblems will come off with a dryer, just gotta heat up the adhesive behind it. I suggest using like... boiling hot water from one of kettle things.. lol I forgot what it was called. But use boiling hot water with some dental floss.
I have a 2004 so I don't know about the "TypeS" badge.
I think the aspec front lip on the 08 is different because of the fog lights .. even the lower grill pieces are different.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

"Type-S", "TL" and "ACURA" badges all have adhesive only. Heat 'em up, "saw" them off with Dental Floss, remove residue with Goo Gone then a little poilsh and wax.
The middle Stylized "A" is held on with pins/screws.

Are you talking about the stock Type S front lip? Just from looking through this site today it seems like everyone has the Aspec kit. I personally don't care for the rear, but the front looks more aggressive then stock. (my opinion)

That Pic is Stock front Lip.
This is the A-Spec for the '07/'08 TL-S:
Personally I don't like the Fog Housing and I hate that fat ass line between the lip and the bumper.
The Standard ('04 - '06) A-Spec Front Lip looks MUCH better (IMHO) but I don't think it fits the '07/'08 because of the fogs.

You buy some two-sided tape and put it back on. Not too hard and there are pics around with proper emblem placement.
